What are the specs on the radiator?  I skimmed the text and didn't see it.

It's an AFCO and I think the part number is an 80100n.  I had the inlet and outlet modified for 90 degree bends and aluminum angle iron welded to the side for mounting.  Out of the box the radiator is about $150.00.   

That would be my truck.   Thanks..    No problems with the motor mounts so far.       The urethane mounts I used were actually made for a Mazda RX-7 Turbo.  The stock Lexus ones would have worked too but so far every Lexus I parted out had broken motor mounts and since I couldn't find anything aftermarket made for the Lexus I had to do something different.   

As I mentioned in the build thread this design allows you to adjust the motor height as needed. 

The tranny should hold up as they are virtually the same.  The one thing you may have a problem with is that you have an OBDII emissions vehicle that you want to put an OBDI motor into.   Emissions standards changed in 1996 from OBDI to OBDII.   I don't know what the emissions laws are in your state but you may want to check that out before doing it.  Some sates also do not allow the installation of an engine older than the vehicle it is going in. 

It gets a bit messy with all the hoses.  I wanted to make sure none of them rub each other.  I don't want any stupid failures on the trail






Also did some more re-assembly tonight. 







The fan comes really close to the front of the engine.  This is why careful planning is necessary if you want a puller fan. 



I got a whole upper intake from a JDM Toyota Soarer (Its what the Lexus SC400 is called in Japan).  I bought it mainly for the factory EGR bypass stuff the the Japanese engine doesn't use.   It also had a Toyota emblem instead of the Lexus one.   

Not quite sure which emblem I should use. 

Finished exhaust pipe.  I got the rest made with single slip over 3" pipe that I have clamped together just not welded yet.



Got a set of these brand new Borla's XR-1's really cheap on Ebay.  I hated to use these normally expensive mufflers on a trail truck but....oh well.



Relocated the Lexus computer up higher than the stock truck unit.



Here is how I routed the fuel lines.  The Lexus feed comes from the drivers side of the engine so I had to get it from the passenger side of the truck over to the feed line.  I ended up using a combination of 4cyl and v6 factory feed lines to come up with the correct length.   My truck was a 4cyl, which places the fuel filter at the engine.  The v6 places the filter along the framerail so the fuel lines are completely different.   I just re-bent factory Toyota stuff that I bought new.

I'm going to use the shifter out of a 2000 4Runner because it doesn't have the 4wd shifter built into it like the 90-95.  I couldn't use it anyway.  The SC400 shifter hit the dash so I couldn't use it either.  It ended up fitting almost perfect.  I didn't have to cut any metal.   I welded some nuts to the underside of the floorboard to make it easier to install and remove necessary. 




I ended up using a Budbuilt crossmember and modified it to work.   If I had it to do over again I would have probably used Front Ranges.  Its a different design and would have been less work but I already had the Budbuilt.  The mounting location is about 5 inches behind the factory location.   I added a piec of metal each side of the crossmember to utilize the factory bolt holes on the frame.  I also made some mounting points to use the slots cut out on the crossmember.

Many of these swaps use either the W56 transmission or the R151 (there are bellhousing adapters for both) but I decided to keep the automatic.   Inchworm makes their Pre-Runner adapter to convert a 2wd Tacoma to 4WD using a standard Toyota 21/23 spline right side drop transfer case.   Since the Lexus uses the same A340E transmission it will bolt right up. 

Here is the adapter.  Its a 2 piece unit.  Its basically Advanced Adapter's Chevy TH350 to Toyota transfer case adapter and then there is a machined adapter to connect the adapter to a Toyota transmission. 


Transmission with the output cover removed.  The shaft has to be cut near where the splines end.  Unfortunately I was too anxious to get it together so I never got pics of it cut.   The instructions that came with Inchworms adapter are for the Toyota version of the tranny, which uses a different output than the Lexus version so the measurments are not the same.   It was pretty easy to just measure where it needed to be cut though.   Remember, measure three times and cut once, or in my case measure about twenty times.
