MY LORD that Nissan is a CHONKER. I'll definitely post photos as I go. About a week into SWB life... so, still in the data/parts gathering phase. THANK YOU!

Wish I could LS my 60-series like you did, North Cakalaky! ...had to settle for a SBC that's "CA LeGaL" out here. This Lil' Monty should be the answer

THIS IS HOT. @PulsarFriend So, I just got a SWB with a 4D56 TD... but it's gonna go LS. I, too, and keeping my L/C... but this'll be a little heater/beater. Can you give me to some 411 on the engine swap particulars? Like, what SNAFU's did you hit with mounting and alignment? ...there's a...

Ahhh s***... Guess I got two now: 93' FZJ / 2.5" w/ Ironman/OME + 285 Toyos Thing's a damn Cadillac compared to my 60 on super-heavies!

Yo. East Bay Area now, moving back to where I grew up (Corralitos) real soon. 85' Fj60 w/ a EFI Chevy Smallblock, a H55F, 4" of Shackle Reversal goodness, and a whole mess of miles. Her name is Suki. Chevota when she's good, ToyLet when she' not. Commonly in town often, holler if you see me...

I LOVE my Louvers. Granted, I'm a dirty old SBC 60 series guy... but, man... you can SEE the heat coming out. Has it helped my distributor get some arc'y days, b/c the water got on 'er? YES. BUT, nothing a lil' WD40 don't fix Do it you EFI guys. It'll be fine ;)

Update for anyone following here, and praise given where EXCEPTIONALLY due: I contacted @cruisermatt / CruiserOutfitters, whom I've done business with for many years for any L/C or Solid Axle Toyota I've had, and they triaged this issue in a single day. They asked specifically about how the...

I agree. This is a SOLID option. But this particular set, seems to be defective. Checked my Torque Wrench... it's in spec.

...just had this happen too. Wild. I've had good luck with 555 products too. But, lo-and-behold: the TRE would only take 40-45ish foot/lbs, and kept pulling through. And go figure; I'd painted them and everything. So; no chance for return. I'm contacting CruiserTeq/@cruiseroutfit regarding...

I'm in this boat now, after having total discharge leaving emergency flashers on all night roadside. So... got the ol' "ACR Mechanical Failure" double-flash. Both batteries re-topped up, holding 12.9v at a DMM pole test. I can cycle the ACR and the on ACR body button presses manually...

Wish it was hyperbole. ...it wasn't.

Bay Area local... PM incoming

Heavy Armor'd SBC 60 here... Recently needed to be flat towed for about 200mi... by a converted 10-ton Type 3 Wildland-Fire Freightliner... thing tugged me around like I didn't exist behind that kinetic rope. After the freightlner took off on a wicked 6% grade downhill, I rode the non-vac...

So, I ripped into the deck this week... Found no test port, or at least, nothing comparable to what my 90's LS400 had. I'll be exploring other options in this thread's aforementioned sections to spoof the deck into thinking it's got a CD when it's really a AUX.

I feel it, my man. No worries, tried to respond with a giggle too ;) I'm just a huge proponent of owning your own media, and in the modern era, do my best to share that P.O.V. when I get the chance to. Esp. given that socio-culturally, we kinda 'won the war' against the record companies holding...
