Well the excitement begins old engine and gearbox out and I'm about to relocate engine and gearbox mounts

Hey mate I've ended up picking up a 1hz with a DTS turbo kit and a h150 gearbox all out of a 80seies and I have a pile of new parts to bolt on I'll probably put the engine on the stand today and start working on it I'm going to do the big end bearings and all oil seals as well, I'm getting...

Thanx ozcruiser, Has anyone done this conversion before mainly concerned about gearbox clearances, shifter locations and crossmember mods or new holes in the chassis any help would be much appreciated. Also wanted to know if the 80's diff centres will bolt into my housings as they are lockers...

Hi, I'm transplanting a 1hz with h150 gearbox out of a 1996 hzj80r into a bj73 and I'm wondering what is the best solution with wiring up the engine and gearbox. Would it be best to grab a engine and gearbox loom from a hzj79 and the instrument cluster from the hzj79 as well. I have the gearbox...

Hi rbtsas, yeah mate I haven't had much time lately, I'm putting off the build until i get my new house I'm in the Pilbara so I don't really want to be doing the conversion out in the sun and by the time I get around to it it will be winter so happy days, I'm still excited as about the build...
