I could, but i'm not... but I do have a jaguar V12 sitting in the garage for that "special" project... This really is a sickness

You'll definitely need the trans Bellhousing as the starter is on the upper drivers side compared to 1uz BH that has it between the heads, which is a pain to change starter.

Wow, that is a lot lighter than our engines. I just had one delivered and it was complete except for the alternator and AC (still had some fluids in it) and weighed 670lb on the pallet. Pallet was relatively light, my guess is around 50lb.

Aren't those engines almost square (bore x stroke)? Should be interesting for sure.

Don't know about the V-12, but the Northstar has the starter in the valley, and it's easy to change. Six bolts on the intake, pick it up on one end, use long extension and ratchet, out and in...

Yup. Toyota made some darned good motors. I used to dream about a 1UZ Supra... then I bought a 928

Once you know the 1gz crank piolt bearing O.D. and depth from block face along with 1GZ BH total depth, we can decipher the adapter depth according to the C5 TT input shaft depth. Here's what I measured on the factory 1uz (v8) BH....

I've never heard of a Toyota V12, but I have a friend in Dallas who must have about 20 Jaguar V12's knocking around should you need to change direction.
