And so should you. Do you know why though? Well first off, it is pretty light. It weighs ~400lbs. Some people say 350, some say 400. I am just gonna go with 400. It is just as light as LS1, but it has 4 cams. I also found this on the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (without transmission). So if you do want to swap a 1UZ into a 240sx(who would think about doing that, not me. . .) just know that the engine weights are pretty close.

Dimensional it is about as tall(maybe a bit taller)as a LS engine but it is also a little shorter as well. It basically fits into anything. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Plus there are a lot of bellhousing adapter kits for them as well, for all your swap needs.

How much is it? !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

It has an oversquare design, it was meant to be used in the GT500 race series, it's design was based off of CART/IRL V8s, and it can be found in the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , a Le Man racer.

It is also all aluminum alloy block. None of that iron 2uz crap. Forged crankshaft. I am also pretty sure you get forged rods stock as well(I don't know, I am going off my head here, I think I read it somewhere), oh and 6 bolt main.

So you know, go buy one or something.

1UZ into a 240sx < people do that all the time, usually with the 350Z transmission

I always assume people started it for 5 to 10 minutes before doing this.

I am building a parts list for my 240sx(don't actually own a 240), and the engine and transmission are last. I am doing a 1UZ swap for sure!
