1FZ-FE new from Toyota 42k miles
I bought a couple of cruisers 2 years ago from a local cruiserhead. One was a 1996 with 225k and lockers. Also included in the sale was a rolled 1993 that had the engine replaced 42k miles prior to the accident. I was going to do the swap into the '96, but my wife didn't like the cigarette smell and faded paint, so I sold the '96. Then I found a low mileage LX450 that the
liked, so that leaves me with a new 42k mi. 1fz-fe in a rollover that I need to get rid of. The bottom end of the motor is new from Toyota, then upon assembly? the PO found that the head was cracked and ended up getting a used head and machining it. Can't remember the details right now, but I have all the records of the work done at a Toyota dealership.
Looking at the engine bay I can tell that the PO was meticulous in his care as most of us tend to be on this forum. Toyota oil filters, Toyota red antifreeze, etc. The truck has been garage kept until a month ago when circumstances forced me to move it to my house. Now it sits on a car hauler with a tarp over it. I need to move it to make room for another project fj80 that is taking up room at my parent's land.
The price from cruiserparts.net for high mileage engines runs from $1400-2500. Why go through all that work to put a high-mileage engine into your truck? This one is just getting broken in. PO used conventional oil for the initial break-in, then switched to synthetic.
Asking price
1FZ-FE $2400
transmission $500
both together $2700
also many other parts from the vehicle, including newer A/C compressor, although the axles were already sold by the PO. Just make an offer.
If you call and catch me before I go pull it, you can negotiate a much lower price if you want to just haul it all away for me. I'll even sell you the car hauler it's sitting on for an extra $650.
I'm also open to trades for something fun. I like dirtbikes, stuff for my fj40 or lx450, skiing, Nikon photography, and many other hobbies. I also need a cage built for an fj80 that I'm buggying.
I'm located in Pinetop, AZ 85935--180 miles NE of Phoenix. I'm willing to put it on a pallet and ship it for the actual cost of shipping + my gas cost for the trip to PHX or you can pick up locally. I'm flexible on certain things, but do have a dental practice to run, so if you depend on my schedule, you'll have to be patient as I may not be able to pull it as fast as you need it if you are without an engine.
