Can I Fit A 1Uz-Fe In To My Te38 If I Try Really Hard?

Here's some grainy shots of a 289 Windsor in a KE55 Corolla that was on Ebay a while back.Seems to fit well except for the super long water pump assembly.

 

Certainly I think I'd prefer a revvy Windsor with a 600 Holley, slippery stalled full manual valve body C4 auto and a B&M ratchet shifter over a 1UZ but that's just my $0.02

I've looked for other options, but they all seem to be more expensive. My thought is to get a wrecked SC400 from a junkyard, so I can get the engine, ecu, wiring rear diff etc... If someone can find all those parts for cheaper then I'm all ears. I would prefer cheaper, even.

I dunno.. if I lived in California and wanted a cool V8 to drive I think I'd be looking at other types of vehicles.

 

However if I had a T powered Corolla in California I'd take advantage of the excellent U.S. T engine performance market.

 

Kudos to you for doing something different.

I like the idea of copying the Flea (Now known as the "No Style" Corolla). Just drop your Corolla body onto a shortened SC400 chassis! :D
