I agree I live life one day at a time and if I can go multiple days without filling up I call that a plus

I did not update the timing chain or oil belt, I’ll probably run 5w-30 rotella, it’s also like a modern 1hdt but the turbo vane sounds better

Honestly keeping it RHD isnt a big deal. It’s hard to find a completely rust free 80 with great looking interior for a decent price so I’m just working with what I got.

You guys got jokes lol. I pulled the LT1 out last Wednesday so I’m about 4 days into the swap. I work full time so I just do this stuff after work in the evenings. I’ve done so many different swaps before I guess I know what I’m doing hahahaha yea right. And Mitch from swaptime is a good friend...

So I’m using the factory tcase. With the LT1 swap I used Torfabs adapter and mounts. So with this I used the same transfer case adapter since it worked with this 10 speed and just made my own mounts Factory computer Currently I’m just using a Edge monitor for gauges but I’ll be getting some...

These are falcon TX1 wheels 17x8 -12 I highly recommend them they are good priced

I was getting around 14mpg i probably could of worked on the tune to squeeze some more

So I already have the engine in and engine mounts made. And the full exhaust made So what I have left before it’s back on the road Water to air intercooler water pump and heat exchanger Brake booster vacuum pump or put a Ibooster in it I haven’t decided yet I’m having a little computer...

Time to try it out So I drove it another 2000 mile round trip to Colorado to do the red cone trail and some others Here is a little video we did while we are out there So the truck did great on the trip, had plenty of power in the mountains, shifts great. But now the next problem that came...

Alright so a little background I’ve had all kinds of vehicles and have done all kinds of engine swaps, LS3 in a 3rd gen Tacoma. LMM duramax in a 80. Full Tesla swap in a 1st gen Tacoma. ect ect… So I wanted in my opinion the best vehicle ever made which is a 1992 HDJ81 to be my forever vehicle...

I wouldn’t say I have too much time but I do enjoy engine conversions. If this sells I plan on doing a new LZ0 3.0 Duramax conversion in the cruiser

I’m tossing around the idea of selling my LT1 with a 10 speed out of a 2019 Camaro SS with around 50k miles on it. I’d want to sell the complete turn key package and I’ll even install it in your cruiser if needed. I’ll include everything needed. If you bring me your running 80 you’ll pick it...

Here is my LT1 with a 10 speed in my 80, I used Torfabs stuff and it went in like a charm Here is a good little video my buddy Mitch at Swaptimeusa made while we were out in Colorado

I have a 1hdt for sale at the moment for 7200 and I get hits on it but no one has came through, seems like a good price. I feel like 7200 is super cheap since you can find them anywhere else

Selling a 1hdt engine and auto transmission from my 1992 HDJ81 182k KMs located in southern Illinois Firm on 7200 picked up
