1973 Toyota Carina 1UZFE 32 Valve Twin Cam V8 Automatic Swap Description

Thank you for your interest.

You are bidding on my 1973 Toyota Carina. I purchased the car about 5 years ago. Spent about a year on the conversion. This car has been my daily driver for about 4 years. Originally a 4 cylinder, 4 speed manual.

Car is now Lexus 1UZFE 4.0 liter dual overhead cam 32 valve v8 backed by a 5 speed automatic. The drive train was purchased from Japan, pulled from an ls400 (non-emission Japanese engine). Super reliable and great mileage. A ways overpowered.

Coil over front conversion (quiet).

Rack and pinion converted (tight).

Fresh and tight front disk and rear drum.

Paint is fresh and nice. Car was rust free when I purchased it. Two paint contamination paint issues. Appears the primer lifted the paint. (Pictured)

Wheels are polished, super nice. Tires are fresh, alignment is perfect, car handles and tracks beautifully.

Interior is nice, clean, very stock. Redone fresh after I bought the car.

Small rip in driver’s seat. (Pictured)

Everything works, heater, defrost, wipers, signals, hazards.

AM radio only.

Missing trunk lock cylinder. Truck does latch and is functional.

Full build photo book (100+) from stock, includes schematics and component dimension information.

Adult owned and built.
