    8x Series V8 Swaps

    Checked the oil pressure with manual gauge and there is indeed pressure. I then connected a mechanical gauge up and it’s showing great pressure. So I plan to purchase an oem toyota sending unit and then look closer at wires. I drove it a bunch this eve knowing I had oil pressure and man does...

    That looks familiar. Is it yours? Did you get the factory oil pressure gauge working ? As far as clean, it’s only cause my bud was a mad man with his work detail wise and I am literally cleaning each inch to determine what is loose or incomplete. It’s therapeutic to a point. As soon as my oil...

    Checked the wir s and the brown is in fact going to the ground and the white heads back in the dash through passengers side. I cleaned up connections and the gauge works but shows I have little to no oil pressure. Going to chase the white wire to see if it goes to the gauge. Next step is to...

    Thanks for that feedback. I will see if i can clean it up per that advice this eve. Hoping the gauge isn't fried.

    Funny reply bud. I am well aware this project isn’t for me. My goal is to finish it due to my friend passing away. I am well aware it’s over my head project wise. My hope is to post occasional questions and with help, learn enough to do what I can. And the things I simply can’t figure out, I...

    Ouch.. should I unplug for now or is it too late? Maybe time to figure out how to get the mechanical one attached. If gauge is cooked, is it replaceable? I can remove and replace things with little issue. It’s the technical diagnosis that I can’t do.

    Came home and took a closer look at the setup. Not sure what this tells me but found sending unit and wires that were spliced and or plugged in. All loose so I assume Troy was still trying to solve the setup. No clue what might have been stock cruiser and or all added.

    8x Series V8 Swaps

    I will look closer tomorrow. That’s where I thought it went but it looks like there is something there. I am wondering if Troy started this part and just didn’t finish. It’s odd cause the mechanical gauge is there and the line is spooled in the engine compartment. I figured it was just too short...

    8x Series V8 Swaps

    This truck was built by my friend and unfortunately there is no paperwork on it. So I don’t have any old parts before the swap. Also don’t have details on parts and years. I believe the engine is a crate 350 zz4. Guessing a year or so old. I believe the pan is steel from the looks of it. My...

    I will do some looking to see if I can locate a factory sensing unit. not sure what is factory and or not at this point.

    8x Series V8 Swaps

    Can you guys offer up info as to how I can get either factory oil pressure gauge hooked up or where an aftermarket one should get plumbed to the engine in the above pics? Maybe tell me what to search if that’s easier. I keep reading threads about v8 conversions but having trouble understanding...

    I thought you might like to see my friends v8 conversion. My understanding is that he was almost complete with the fine tuning but unfortunately passed away prior to finishing. I am going to finish what he started and then take the truck to Colorado to wheel just like we planned to do with the...
