5M-GE - Replace 2LT

Hi All,
I am thinking of putting a 5MGE in my hilux surf IFS to replace a 2LT. Does this swap ok. Has anyone done it?
I heard there might be an issue on an IFS with the 5M-GE Sump.
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks

How old is your Hilux? If it's newer than 1986, a 5M conversion won't be legal.

Unless that 5MGE is from a Cressida.

Better solution: 2JZ-GE.

7mge, the longer stroke would perhaps work better for a 4wd...
it isnt called a tractor engine for nothing

Stroke isn't going to make up for a litre of missing displacement.

I have heard there are space issues with the 1uz-fe
although gotta love the sound of a V8.
The sump is apparently an issue with the IFS on these and also trying to keep them cool is very hard in the surf.
I am not sure of this, just what I have been told.

1UZFE is fairly wide yes, but you could be a pioneer! Get out your tape measure and see if it'd fit. There are a few different sump setups available and surely one of them, or a slightly modified one of them would have to fit.

i think its only some states that enforce the "engine must not be older than car" rule...
i think, anyone clarify this?
