Lexus 1UZFE into P5B rover
My aim is to put the engine and gearbox out of a lexus ls400 into a 1968 rover p5b. I'll only have a week to strip the lexus of everything i need to get it in and running. Has anyone got any experience with these engines with regard to whats needed to get it to run.??

Hi redunbeam
took me a bit to find it again, but think i have come up trumps for you. On the LRO one guy has put a lexus block into a range rover classic. take a look i think it will help a lot.

Spent the last week or so identifying the wires i need in the new loom, with that done its time to get the engine out, and see how big a job its going to be,
Old rover v8 and new 1UZFE together. At this point the new engine looked HUGE.
Next step is to throw it in the hole,
Am going to have to convert the steering to rack and pinion as the steering box was in the way, and the sub frame will need massaging to give a bit of clearance, but on the whole not too big a job.
