I guess given the history of the car and the unknowns it makes it a good car to modify in that way 
What will you be taking out of it parts wise?

"Engine replaced with a 1uz (current plan)"
That will be very interesting to see, please share the build with us.
That engine is very cheap to buy here but, not overlay powerful in standard form.
I understand they are very strong and great for turbo charging. Is that what your planning?

What stereo was in it? Fancy selling any of the parts?
I can get you a photo of it, might have been original I've no idea
It's for noise and a bit of power really. No plans to turbocharge it.
If I was going down that route it'd be a 2jz more than likely as 400bhp is easily had out of stock twins with a bit of mucking around.
Like you mention they are dirt cheap, £500 for box and engine vs £4-5k for 2jz and 6speed
Ideally I'd go 154 but they are fairly rare and expensive when the W58 will take 350-400bhp and people will pay me to take the box off them
So probably W58 as the 1UZ I think runs only 250bhp.
If I was going 1j definitely the R154 and 2j the v160/161

Haha
1UZFE = 4.0l V8 from GS400s usually
2JZGTE = Twin Turbo 3.0l straight 6 from a supra (or aristo)
1JZGTE = Twin Turbo 2.5l straight 6 from a soarer usually
R154 = 5 speed gear box from a soarer usually good for 600-700bhp
W58 = 5 speed gear box from a non turbo supra usually good for 350-400bhp
V161/160 = 6 speed gear box from a supra good for 2000+ (Yes i meant 2000)
That do?
