    How to LS Swap a FJ60 or FJ62. Quick and dirty guide for regular folks wanting to do an engine swap in their driveway.

    No. I have an NP205 and it is very unsophisticated. I have not had an issue with shifting or the vss.

    How to LS Swap a FJ60 or FJ62. Quick and dirty guide for regular folks wanting to do an engine swap in their driveway.

    Used a stock 4x4 converter. Have a fan clutch. I also rebuilt the engine back to stock. It has the best low end torque of all of the different motors and setups. I have not had any issues on the trail. Sometimes if I'm climbing a lot I put it in 4lo, not so much for traction but just not to...

    How to LS Swap a FJ60 or FJ62. Quick and dirty guide for regular folks wanting to do an engine swap in their driveway.

    I got a rebuild kit that iirc was double the amount of clutches. My father in law ordered it so I don't have a lot of info.

    How to LS Swap a FJ60 or FJ62. Quick and dirty guide for regular folks wanting to do an engine swap in their driveway.

    I have those exact specs in my pig. I do trails and have gone 100 mph (don't recommend) 70-80 is a good cruising speed. I wish I upgraded to the 65 but chose to just add clutches and improved sun gear shell. Not issues so far. I plan to tow a small trailer and plan to change my gears to 4.88. On...

    I wanted to the 6L but I was told it is a lot bigger. Plus you need to have a stand alone harness just for the transmission because the older LM7 type ecu is only thinking about 4 speed.

    How to LS Swap a FJ60 or FJ62. Quick and dirty guide for regular folks wanting to do an engine swap in their driveway.

    60k miles from 1 owner isn't going to be the same as 60k from another. My LM7 theoretically had low miles but it was not treated very well. I bought and paid a price conducive of a good runner but once I got it open I felt like it needed a refresh. For my money and piece of mind, I would...

    How to LS Swap a FJ60 or FJ62. Quick and dirty guide for regular folks wanting to do an engine swap in their driveway.

    It might be worth going 60/65. Is the 4L80 a 4x4? That will be a non starter too, if not. I am curious if HPtuners will be able to swap over to control a 60/65. Not that sure how it works.

    How to LS Swap a FJ60 or FJ62. Quick and dirty guide for regular folks wanting to do an engine swap in their driveway.

    THe 4L80 is bigger but I know someone that put one in a 55 with their LS swap. I think the big downside of the 80 vs 60/65 is the gear ratios. More of a car/street setup than a truck/off road. The 60/65 has a lower 1st and higher OD. Is it DBW? Also, you can get the miles out of the ECU with...

    A guy showed up to our TLCA meeting with an 80 and it had a 2010 Camaro 6.2 in it, along with the 6 speed auto.

    https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=10147104&cc=1379976&pt=5562&jsn=8 It was $110 when I got it. Still a good price. Fair warning, it does not come with tiny gasket that blocks the oil cooler outlet near the filter. Learnt that after it was full of oil.

    Idea of my lift. Granted, I have a frombie high steer I was trying to miss also. I don't think I wanted to FAFO the wrong way.

    Not sure on the 60 but my 55 has about a 6 inch lift so probably close to soa and the truck pan was not going to work for me. I did the 2000 camaro pan of rock auto. A lot cheaper than holley.

    The Silverado had a cooler in the radiator but if you got the towing package you got an external cooler that went infront of the ac condenser. I used a radiator that did not have a cooler and went straight to a super high gvw external cooler and it have been great. You are referring to...

    Great thread. I enjoyed it. I like the closing remarks. Good advice and it isn't even car related. I'd like to double up on the positive support team. You are going to go down a dark hole on your own at some point. You don't need the negative Nellys around. I did my swap with my father-in-law at...

    I dont know how the LS does the return but the small block I took out had TBI injection and that defiantly warmed up the gas that got returned.

    My LM7 was a late 03 motor that came with returnless fuel from the factory. I would think the fuel rails are interchangeable. I like the returnless setup because you have less fuel navigating the vehicle and you are not just pouring in hot gas as it comes back to the tank. I used the Corvette...

    I like the look of that shifter better. I used a B&M ratchet shifter, because that is what I already had.

    Oinkmicron? I have been thinking about changing the plates. But probably staying away from infectious disease references. The whole swine flu and FJ55 Pig thing is cool but only a very small group of people understand the reference.

    No problem. I wish I was more organized and did a thread like yours. I did updates in my build thread but not super inclusive and i omitted a lot of the issues and only posted the final items. I have a few spreadsheets of parts I got but I changed directions a few times and didn't up date the list.

    https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speedway-Double-Pass-Aluminum-Radiator-Chevy,23864.html Part # 917340 This is what I got. It is a double pass and the single is like $179 or there abouts. At the bottom has the links to the shroud kits. Keep in mind this does not have a trans cooler. I prefer an...
