Identify the engine before comparing offers
Toyota’s historical Crown Majesta specifications list 3UZ-FE as a 4,292 cm³ V8 DOHC engine. This is manufacturer background for identifying the code, not a statement that an offered engine fits every Toyota or Lexus vehicle.
Keep 1UZ, 2UZ and 3UZ-FE requests separate. For a replacement or mixed batch, photograph the identifier and confirm oil-pan and mounting requirements, electronic equipment and gearbox identity. Ask for separate engine and gearbox line items when both are required.
Define engine and gearbox scope
Specify engine only or engine + gearbox, and whether you need a complete engine or a long block. These descriptions can mean different included parts: list the required accessories separately. AT/MT and 2WD/4WD are verification fields, not a guarantee that a gearbox is included or compatible.
Ask for evidence for each offered unit
Request photographs of the actual identifier, engine and included parts, plus visible defects. Ask what inspection, compression-test information or running video is available for those units. Each engine needs its own confirmation, even when several units have the same code; mileage, test results and warranty terms are confirmed only when supported and agreed.
Prepare a quotable wholesale request
- Full engine code and quantity per configuration
- Vehicle model/year; VIN or chassis number if available
- Destination country and port
- AT/MT and 2WD/4WD, or explicitly “to confirm”
- Engine only or engine + gearbox; gearbox identifier if available
- Complete engine/long block and required accessories
Compare packing and quotation scope
For FOB or CIF requests, identify the loading port or destination port and ask for an itemised transport scope. Confirm packing, loading and any included freight separately. Availability is dynamic; a quote validity period does not reserve stock.
