So much going on in this build, Andy’s automotive surgical skills keep on impressing haha backed up by solid fab work. Awesome stuff boys! Look forward to the next episode.
@@jonojonojono All my NZDM and JDM engines are slanted I even imported a AUDM 4X4 Hilux engine to swap into a 87 Surf and that was slanted. We have heaps of 2wd and Surf engines in NZ but not many 4X4 Hilux engines as most were diesel.
Clearance. 3rzs are tall, even taller when on the factory 11 degree angle. Having used them in many conversions and knowing this and knowing we would be making a custom sump, I didn’t even bother trying to mount it on the factory angle. There is no oiling issue if standing up if replacing the sump and pickup. As for the gearbox, being a manual, the angle is no issue with no pumps or pans to worry about. Shame the bellhousing were only made to suit the slanted motor mount. The powerglide conversion bellhousings are available to suit both upright and the slant. Thanks for watching.
@@TunaRacing The angle threw me off, I made my engine mounts then went to put the shifter in and it was a no go 😂 so out with the grinder it was. Could you cut the bell housing and rotate the gearbox? The 3SGTE is the same with the sump and oil pickup if done heaps of rwd conversion with those using 3Y bell housings.

I just noticed we didn't get a "high everybody" from Dr Nick.
I feel cheated. Up your game matty!
😂
Is there a reason why you put the engine vertical and the gearbox on a angle? Hopefully oil isn't an issue

Got the first view yea boi
How much would u sell a built 3rz ?
Lots of variables - are you Brisbane based?
I notice Johno wears the same safety shoes as me. Not too good for welding.
It’s a reoccurring trend on the channel.
I have been trying to be better with the shoes front, but genuinely forgot this time.
You tube scratches really
