The loom is also uncut , I'm thinking this might be handy for wiring to a relay power supply etc . I am a sparky but I hate car wiring!!

Yay have put aside a 1UZ its a front sump ( if I need a rear there are rear sump kits on EBay $400 landed )My 4M40T is on trade me so fingers crossed it goes soon. Ive been pouring over your great docs and chopped a few trees down .Also printed a Pajero diagram to see if there is any similarity.

The motor I got is UCF21 not sure what this means I presume a late model.Again thanks heaps for the info

As soon as I can work out how to drive my iPad I'll post the link!!

Sorry yes I tend to confuse people with my ideas. Yes my scheme is to use the Pajero box and it's ECU .If you go on YouTube a guy I know has a Jeep/Lexus/Pajero just search that and you'll see!.My project will be more the mild-mannered look but with a surprise under the bonnet. The plan of attack is to install the Lexus bell housing and trial an alloy sump to check clearances, this will tell me whether to source a mid,rear or modify a front sump which are cheaper

Great forum and thread . As you can tell I have a Pajero , my idea is to remove the diesel and fit a 1uz. I have learnt you can swap the Pajero bell housing ,torque convertor, input shaft and pump with the Lexus auto.I'm hoping the gearbox can be controlled from the existing auto ECU and kick down cable. there are other sensors etc on the old diesel that I may have to duplicate on the V8 .Funding this project is by way of the existing 4M40 selling for a few dollars , engine is almost out along with other bits that aren't needed .Again thanks for the info .....
