Unique vehicle, some upgrades since last listed in 2010.

FS: 1997 LX450 c/w 1HD-FT Diesel Engine & Auto Tran. Price is now $25,000 USD and the vehicle mileage is now at 195K km or 122K miles with the diesel engine/transmission/TC at 130K km or 81,250 miles. Ease of importation to the USA will have to be researched by potential US buyer. Recent...

Another dream 1HD-FT coming available Way too many vehicles, so my LX450 with the multi-valve 1HD-FT/ auto will be available after Christmas. Wonderful condition. Old threads under LX1HD-FT discuss the conversion.

1hd-ft Hey Riad, I swapped in the complete engine/auto tranny/ transfer case assembly, which I purchased from G&S Cruisers(here in BC) I don't believe anybody has been able to use the A343F auto in a 1HD-T or 1HD-FT diesel swap. I've been driving the diesel LX since mid last year and I...
