Last time I checked Jim C could get the pistons. Doesn’t cruiser outfit have a lot of the other stuff? Mosely I thought only did mostly the later flat top pistons and not the domed.

Thanks for the info. I’m working my way through this thread. I know my way around a ford 6.7 and 7.3 and the Isuzu over cab trucks. And don’t laugh at me my only Toyota diesel I own is a 2H. I like the 2uz in my ‘01 Lexus but long to put one of these in with a manual transmission. Jason

I own a 1980 HJ45. I imported it from Honduras. My build is in the 45 section and it might be helpful for you to look through some builds there to get some ideas. I replaced the H with a 2H. I would highly recommend proceeding with caution and echo everything @cruisermatt said. Mine has about...

I also struggle with everything OEM to an extent on the LV. Mine is so far gone. No floors, no engine, or transmission, or steering column. My struggle in my mind is with the floor and trying to make every single rib in the floor perfect, perfectly spaced apart and exact in every way to...

I’ve missed the last several because tippy isn’t done…hopefully this is the year!!

Ok I searched and this seems to be the closest to my issue. However, my situation is different. 2001 lx. New rack New cv axle drivers side Passenger cv axle rebuilt New front bearings New rotors Brake pads New upper ball joints Alignment Maybe 300 miles since all this work. I get an alarm...

Not sure what it is about #3 cylinders around here. I went to my junk cruiser and did the same oil check. #3 drains the oil after about 3 days. All the others hold the oil good. So my plan is to rebuild the best block of the 2 and the head. Hopefully one block can be machined down to 40 over and...

Wow! @Toyopet I saw your LV in Key West at that market back in 2018! I remember I asked someone at the market if I could buy it. That was before my rusty LV purchase out of Montana. Great looking truck. I look forward to hearing more about it! Jason

Hear me out At least look at the Omega car of Casey Putsch. 104 miles per gallon Used Volkswagen diesel engine with 120k on it when he built the car. 0-60 in under 5 seconds It beat the Dodge viper and matched the Tesla and the corvette. He also says he could probably mass produce them...

There’s no way every car, truck, excavator, bulldozer, semi truck, pressure washer, weedeater, blower, air plane, mower, chainsaw, cement mixer, every single gas or diesel engine will be changed over to electric on the whole planet. How are you going to charge all that stuff?
