I got it off ebay from a seller in the UK. From what I was told it was an QCH head. Finding a OEM head was nearly impossible
Awesome that would be great. I was just quoted $350 to TIG weld that bracket together for a sub $50 part when in stock
If you can find a good shipper at a decent price...
IM ALIVE!
Been some time but I'm finally making moves on the LJ. Learned how to ride a motorcycle and got hooked lol. But anyways! New head installed on the LJ plus other bits and bobs.
While the engine is pulled I've ordered some new belts and bolts which I'm waiting to come in the mail from...
I’m alive!!! But the land cruiser isn’t lol
Long story short life got in the way and slowed me down on the build. Currently sourcing a head for my 2L so I should be that soon.
I have the 1kz sitting in garage and have no use for it at all. So if you’re looking for one let me know!! I was...
Hey guys, I'm looking to either part of this 1KZ or sell as a whole. I just received this engine as of 10mins ago and have to get rid of it due to having to move to another country. the plan was to swap it into my LJ78 but I just don't have the time anymore to do it. She was pulled out of Hiace...
okay thank you for that. luckily my 2L trans is in good condition so ill gladly mount that to the 1KZ. will I run into a weirdness with a 1kz engine and 2l trans?
With all that being said ill be parting out my 2L and anything I got for it once the new engine arrives. (still looking for build treads) I hope I don't run into any big problems
Hoping to have the new engine in the truck and running by the end of the month. kinda on a time crunch seeing as...
tons of sleepless nights trying to figure out what to do. Luckily I found a 1kzte out of a surf stateside with tranny, ECU, and loom.
The goal is to swap everything in and go from there. Now someone on my 1KZ post noted that someone makes the 45mm plate to mount the engine in but waiting to...
Yeah I have no choice what so ever I have to swap my 2l out. I’ll have to do some more digging but maybe I’ll luck out by swapping just the engine
And do you have a link for those mounts?
The 1kz I’m looking to pick just had the leak down test down and all the cylinders were at 650 except for...
yeah im wonder how many people weren't able to do the swap because of problems. I honestly don't want to run the 2L anymore lol.
im planning to swap engine, trans and ECU which should be straight forward other than motormounts. what did you mean by 45mm out?
i wouldnt mind going to a manual but that can wait lol.
so by going mechanical youre talking about the early 1KZ?
and my plan is to clean up and fix any wiring problems I come across . i might even replace the connection ends.
would the 1KZ mount to the original 2L mounts?
Hey guys im looking to swap a 1KZ-TE into my LJ78. I was able to come across some online for decent prices and wonder whats needed for the swap
I'll be keeping my truck auto so as long as i get an auto KZ will it mount right up? most of the KZs i found come with tranny and ECU and a couple with...
thank you for the link! ill look into that ad and see what others are out there.
i wouldn't ming the 2l if I didn't have this problem. but now I'm at the point of fix the 2l or upgrade to the 1kz and I'm leaning towards the 1kz. I would love some of the bigger toyota engines or even a cummins...
Haha one of my biggest nightmares came true when I flipped it over and started cleaning/inspecting.
had to really sit down the last couple days and decide what to do.... Im really leaning towards going ahead and swapping a 1KZ into the truck. yes its gonna cost more than 2L-TE head but more...
Wow its been awhile since posting! work and home life got in the way.
I was able to pull the engine about a month ago and have been tearing things off. cleaning and inspecting as i go along.
Now ive been cleaning and inspecting and looked at the under side of the cylinder head bock and noticed...
I came across the part number and when I referenced against US Toyota parts it was match. Maybe I was confused with the numbers but I'll go ahead and check that part number you supplied to me.
I've already removed the EGR parts and awaiting the block off kit that came across from this company...
