It is proceeding nicely. It has slowed a bit, due to other projects. I am now in the process of connecting all the gauge/dash lights to the 4.7 harness. I have completed the transfer case. The CDL now works off the switch and the 4L lever. Next is to get all the gauge lights working, i.e...
Well, this week was spent with a lot of things that make it look like I didn't get a lot done. Got driveshafts made, longer rear, shorter front. Install radiator, heater hoses, power steering lines w/cooler. Did not use the factory p/s cooler. I didn't like the way it ran right behind the oil...
This is the direction I went with the power steering. Banjo fitting at the pump and the inverted flare at the gear box. Both are -6 x 16.5 mm.
For the fuel, I used a filter from a 100 series. It will screw right on the inverted flare supply line from the tank. I had to remove the line from the...
That is a difficult question to answer. It has always been more of a group of guys getting together to wheel/overland or whatever. Never any official meetings, dues or such. Maybe someone else with more insight will chime in.
As far as the eclipse trip, I actually will be at Hot Springs park...
I went with the A343 as it came with the engine, and the 80 transfer. It is going to require driveshafts to be fitted as the overall length is somewhat shorter. I also had to fab a transmission mount. I used the crossmember from the 80, shortened it and welded mounts to connect the crossmember...
Concerning the fuel pump, the harness from LexusV8 comes with with a fuel pump relay. He provides an output to run the pump. Simply remove existing relay, remove pump power wire (see picture) and connect to his output.
A couple of things, 1) According to LexusV8 the they are unable to acquire the calibration codes for programming Land Cruiser & Tundra ECU's. They use an ECU from a Sequoia. They program the immobilizer out. They are also able to remove the secondary o2 sensors if needed. 2) The fuel pump is...
I will most likely be getting rid of it, but not until the project is completed. I never get rid of anything while I am in the middle of a project. If I do, it usually comes back to haunt me. It is not in the best of shape, usable, but not great.
I appreciate all the pros and cons of the 4.7 swap. However, this thread is about my journey through the swap. The decision has been made, good or bad. I just simply want to chronicle the journey.
