81 Toyota 2WD (factory) Diesel info (2 Viewers)

[blemarr]

I just got my hands on an stock 81 Toyota Diesel. It has a 2.2 4 cyl diesel motor, 5 spd trans, AC, etc... Does anyone know what type of motor or tranny is in it? Is the motor 2B, 3B, etc? Is the tranny a H-55 model or something else? Contimplating switching the driveline into one of my FJ-40's any insight or help would be appreciated! The transmission is 2WD so I was wondering if I can change the output shaft? and/or adapt a split transfercase to to it???

this is a L engine probably with some sort of L or G series tranny. You might be able to adapt the tranny with a back half of a 4WD tranny of the same family, but it will be pathetic in a 40 series. It could work in something like a sammy but otherwise I'd say keep it in the 2WD for the semi-daily/ utility purpose or sell the whole truck if you don't like it anymore. I bet there are quite a few people would would enjoy the truck. I'm building myself a '92 2WD diesel as we speak
You can find what tranny you have by looking at the vin plate in the engine bay.

I do like the truck, I just thought if it were the same drive line as an BJ 40 or 60 I might swap it over. Thanks for the info.

That's 2.4 liters. It's a 2L. Normally aspirated indirect injected four cylinder. The trans should be either an L50 or L52.

This set up wouldnt make you happy in a 40. unless you were trailering it everywhere. No horsepower. And you'd have to
get a centered rear diff to fit it as well.

... of the pickup since this thread is about it
You can post some pics of your 40 in the 40 section as well

Tom, did you sell the sammy ? It doesn't appear in your sigline anymore ?
