Just going to say, while it does take longer to swap in a v8 than it does to read this 144 page thread it is pretty dang cool when you can drive your 80 again. Took me around 15mo to get it to this point, a bit longer and way more expensive than...

Here’s a screen thot of the intake pieces. I cut the aluminum tube to size. The a/c lines were made at a shop, $350. I just took in the Toyota and Chevy lines and told them how long I needed. The power steering hose I put the steering box end on...

Test fitted some Sanderson headers on the LS 6.0

I mean I wouldn't know until I do it as far as what compression ratio I personally would run. But I would probably stick to 9.5ish to 1. Maybe I'm too conservative. When you get a turbo on your fj60 with higher compression I will happily eat crow...

Managed to fanagle my way into this puppy for $300. It’s been 5 years and it’s time for phase 2 :hillbilly: Mild build with a little PSI on top. Give me a year or so to collect the other goodies. “Old” engine with go in the 40.

I see around 15 average. Would definitely still go with 4.88 ratio. I’m not sure how they would run with your setup though. Once you get it going post up though. My 40 is running a nv4500 amd SBC and I recently picked up a L33 to mate to it...

RE regearing after V8 swap: at almost a year later would you still go with 4.88s? What mpg have you seen on your 37s since? After my swap is complete (LQ9 & NV4500), I plan to run 35s and occasionally drive on the highway but mostly it'll be a...

$1,375 (I updated the original ad) 👍

Price drop! Just bought an LQ9 for my swap and need to make room :)
