Unfortunately because of the year of my swap I'll have to use a 2009 or newer motor if I ever hope to get it registered in the USA. I like the idea of using one of the older inline 6 motors, but again because of the year of my donor truck it would have to be 2009 or newer which means CANBus...

Holy cow, Tugarin, this is AWESOME. I have been trying to figure out how to swap a Mercedes OM 642 motor or a VW 3.0 TDI for about a year now, and I've been studying how the maps are programmed and trying to figure out a way to get rid of some of the body control module (BCM) and transmission...

ok, another question. does anyone make an adapter to go between a NV4500 and the 4.5L cruiser block? Ryan

Ok, first post, im kinda excited. Ive been looking at Cruisers for probably 4 years or so, wanting one very badly, wishing we would have kept our old fj60 that mom and dad traded on moms van. but anyways, I am a certified diesel nut, and the only reason that I dont have an 80 right now is...
