Hello all. I'm a diehard Land Cruiser lover. I'm currently in the process of purchasing my 6th LC. It's a 1996 4.5l. Factory lockers and in very nice condition. It has about 290k miles on it and has no real problems. My question or more maybe a goal of mine is to convert it over to a diesel powered rig.
I've never been much of a diesel enthusiast, but times are changing as am I.
So, my question; what is a good diesel that I can convert to? I want durability obviously. I also want to be able to make a lot more power.
I'm not rich at all. I'm a 100% disabled Veteran and live off of my retirement from the Navy. So any thoughts, help, comments, complaints, etc etc, please forward them on to me.
It's not a time sensitive issue as the current 4.5L runs just fine. I want to do the swap though. I'll probably rebuild and crate the 4.5L.
So, as far as availability of the engine, parts and upgradability, what would you consider installing in your own Land Cruiser?
Thanks for all input.
Stand on it son, and keep it muddy...
