Yes!
s***ty video is acceptable in this scenario. I'd even take a sideways one!

Sorry, guys. I've had a million other things going on... not all of them good; with the depressing conclusion that I'll need to let this Cruiser go immediately upon completion. So, if you really, really, really want video, buy it before my dealer friend takes it for resale - and kindly spam the universe with videos that I can watch.
Did you get married
Sorry the build didn't work out. Sometimes custom builds can just be more complicated to complete than anticipated and it gets to the point of just having to move on. Hope things go well for you.

Man I want to see that thing rip potato chip
It's a harsh reality that in the USA an LS or Cummins swap is a well trodden path with known costs, results, and value added.
It's also a matter of sheer availability.
There are a whole lot more 1FZ-FE's in the in the Middle East than in the USA.
There are a whole lot more LS's in the USA than in the Middle East.
Supply and demand.
If everyone had Studebaker engines, then we'd all be swapping in a solid lifter, gear driven timing, heavy cast block engine to be making our big HP.

Oh for sure, I 100% agree. Availability = familiarity = Well trodden path.

Oh, the build ultimately turned out OK - despite being an expensive pain in the ass. A bunch of other unrelated stuff went to hell in a bobsled tho...

I don't have the exhaust part #; but it's a 6:1 dumping direct to turbo, versus the factory 6:2:1 split header. Intake is OEM.

It murdered a headgasket walking up to ~13psi of boost on the dyno, so that's all you get for now. Multi-layer steel Cometic going in tomorrow...
