need a parts list for 1uz swap

V8 240sx? Sure! If either the chassis OR the engine is non-Nissan (i.e. SR20 in an RX-7 or LS1 in a 240sx), we've done it.

I've driven one before. Not really impressed. I would reconsider and look at going 5.3 GM engine (LSx based) instead with a tried and true clutch/tranny setup. During my drive the clutch pedal dropped to the floor and I had to pick it up with my foot. As much as I like hybrids as a whole, I am not a fan of mixing and matching transmissions/clutches/etc. but rather installing as they came from the factory. They're usually enough trouble as-is to go tempting fate. Also, a modded 1UZ will struggle to make the power a 5.3 does with no mods and has a small aftermarket.

Just my $.02
