This thing has a J20 and auto it it the bloke who bulit it or owns it is on here but i can't remember his name he might be able to help ya out

theres a 3rd one in the works also that runs and drives round his yard very close to here

tight fit.
Flxiie is one of the tidiest rigs ive ever seen under the bonnet and under the rest of the car too damn clean

ive got the j20 in my project zook. running j20 box, vit steering box, sierra transfer j20 radiator. to say it is a close fit would be an understatement, but it is all in there without fouling each other.
the j20 uses a hydro clutch which is a bit of mucking around in itself. the bell housing pattern is the same as g16 but the bell housing depth is a lot deeper on the j20 box. no amount of mixmatching bell housings/clutch folks/throughout slides will see you using a cable clutch without making a new flywheel.
so mine is set up with the hydro clutch on a sierra pedal box. you could use the g13 box with adapters and machined flywheel but i steered away from this after reading from a guy up our way, has a j20 and g13 box and said it loved making black gear oil for that matter if you machined the flywheel you could use the g16 box and run a cable clutch. the hydro leaves no room for a bigger booster and is just plain fiddly but i was too tight to spend money on the flywheel
engine mounts where fabbed up from scratch. very time consuming to get it to sit in the right position ( booster,master cylinder. bonnet heights where all an issue. try sitting a motor in a car with no mounts and measure bonnet, firewall, diff clearances. not too much fun.
the original engine fan will never fit. my radiator is VERY close to the front of the motor and a electric fan will be put in front of a a/c condenser. not sure yet if i will have cooling dramas with the lack of room around the front of the motor for hot air to escape. the j20 rad is big.really too big for the sierra. there is no extra room between steering rack and lh chassis rail and bonnet/pitman arm and of course all mounts where a one off=more time.
extractors will have to be custom made.
the wiring on mine was good as i think it came from a 98 vit (not gv) which meant there was no transponder to worry about. my car is setup as spoa front using snake histeer and ruff which gave me room for the motor with no bodylift but you won't have a hope if your spua with no body lift unless you go remote or some getto fab sump.
that is all for now..... good looking thing once it it in there. 6 billion times more work than a g16 and have no idea how well it goes as i have never driven it over 5km/h

well after reading this stuff, ones ive run it past the old man i think im gonna do it.

His intake's on the wrong side..

i have a J18 in the shed with the intake on the other side.


Don't think, just act!!!

Thats a Toyo motor, you can see the badge on the cam cover..

meh, i wonder if haveing a sierra rad modded to 4 core would be enough?

um everything
