    1997 Restoration

    Kinda the same way on miles….. your project is an unrealized dream of mine, and my hats off to you.

    1997 Restoration

    I think you deserve a new, 0 mile odometer after this degree of work, which I have one somewhere if interested. And new carpet!

    1FZ-FE Engine Rebuild Parts List

    No, this isn’t the car I know we’ve all seen, but the predecessor was built on a junkyard shortblock that had absolutely nothing done to it.

    Steering box??

    Bet beno sent to West Texas Off-road.....

    1fz-h55f bellhousing pre-order

    No one, because it’s completely illogical. The benefit of this combination is to put a 1FZ-FE in vintage Cruisers......not a vintage H55F in new. I have an H151F, as well an H150F, both with HF1A mechanical cases, HD/HZ or FZ bell housing, flywheel and clutch......which is about 45% of...

    Specifically, how is “width” measured ?

    If considering mix and match of Cruiser components, Cruiser Outfitters has overall LC axle widths somewhere on website.

    Steering box??

    $.00851 per mile. Doesn’t sound too bad a deal to me, but rebuilding isn’t a huge affair. Find a core (if can’t do without) send with new sector shaft and few hundred to West Texas Off-road, and it’ll be as good as new for another 235k.

    Softer Ride FZJ80 Daily Driver

    If you do change coils, order rears for PP80, if planning to run sans rear seats. My 97 came with no sunroof or third row, and coils coincided with similar, non-US part numbers. Wouldn’t think it’d make that big of a difference, but when replaced everything as spec’d, ride is actually comfy...

    Softer Ride FZJ80 Daily Driver

    A huge contributor to ride quality “harshness” are sub par shocks and 25 year old OEs would be better than Rancho, their purpose best served in triplicate on each corner of 24” lifted F-250s that shouldn’t be allowed on the street. Best riding/handling 80 I’ve driven, and continue to DD, was...

    1FZ-FE engine with H55f transmission?

    61 is RHD, so may prove challenging (if 73 to 74 compatibility is any barometer).

    1FZ-FE engine with H55f transmission?

    Exactly what’d lessen the effort, but have had a hard time finding one that fits what was originally a VMJ73 (now HZJ73 with HD clutch that desperately needs booster) firewall/clutch master, having tried several variants from 7X lineup. (Haven’t had opportunity to make one fit). Not sure if...

    1FZ-FE engine with H55f transmission?

    H15X/HF1A fits a 6X chassis, beautifully, and they’re readily available. Having only long term experience with 1HZ/H55F combinations, both turbo’d, one with HD clutch, one without, I question whether or not even the HD clutch would maintain behind the 1FZ. Un-boosted HD H55F clutch sucks like...

    How's 'bout a hand with head help?

    If memory serves, a 1FZ-F Head (carb’d, not EFI) that’s most likely non-hardened valve seats and low(er) compression variant, most likely in the combustion chamber, for low octane markets. Yes, there’s a block off plate available to de-carb and yes, valve seats could be hardened, but...

    Radius Arm Flip

    Links are for buggies.....not station wagons. All a waste of time. Stock arms/links, 40s, removing anything that impedes travel. Anything else is alchemy.

    1FZ-FE engine with H55f transmission?

    Been busy..... HD/HZ bell pattern are the same, but FZ is remarkably different. Great! Now on to addressing the complexity (cost) of swapping 1FZ-FEs in vintage Cruisers.... H15XF/HF1A is better suited for the 1FZ-FE. Hopefully, they accommodated for the 300mm clutch with HD springs...
