    8x Series V8 Swaps

    Found these on eBay awhile back. I like the low key badging. Never really liked the look of seeing a 40 with a bow tie on the grill. Real car guys see it then immediately come ask questions.

    I would double check that you have the correct transmission(4wd 4l80) for their adapter. I know the 4l60 adapter uses a 2wd transmission. I didn’t do any research on 4l80s so don’t know off the top of my head

    8x Series V8 Swaps

    I used bolt in motor mounts from the landcruiser shop. I think they are up in Idaho. They were awesome and saved a ton of time mocking up. https://selkirkoffroad.com/product/fzj80-ls-v8-conversion-mounts/

    8x Series V8 Swaps

    I bought a set of corvette center dump ls3 manifolds while I was doing my swap. They looked like they would need a bit of trimming on the flange but would most likely work. I didn’t end up using them as my motor needed an egr valve to make California legal. I’ve also heard ctsv manifolds would...

    I’m in Pacifica for about another month. Feel free to message me and if you wanna cruise out and take it for a rip she’s all yours.

    8x Series V8 Swaps

    It was hitting the frame. I’m pretty sure you need to use the cats from the engine you purchased. They are sticklers for everything and anything to do with cats. I purchased everything from a yard up in sac. Engine, harness, ecm, air box, cats, pedal, pedal module. My buddy was able to fit the...

    8x Series V8 Swaps

    This stumped me for quite awhile. I was told ctsv manifolds would work but unfortunately for me I got a 2002 lq4 that still had the egr on the passenger side manifold so I don’t think I would have passed the ref with different exhaust manifolds. I ended up getting a little sneaky and ordering...

    8x Series V8 Swaps

    x2^ I probably read through this thread a solid 20 times jotting down notes, taking pictures, and bothering people for info on their swaps. Go get a notebook and buckle down for a day or two, it is def worth it when all is said and done. Don't stress on the lq4 to lq9 debate, I think the only...

    8x Series V8 Swaps

    I would try to find a 03-07 2wd Complete Escalade or Denali if you want a 6.0 or a Tahoe/Silverado if you want a 5.3. Piecing stuff together really adds up as you go along. If you don’t need to deal with smog it may not be as necessary to have everything but it just makes things easier. I used...

    8x Series V8 Swaps

    Everything I've read in the past said that i'd need a lock cylinder with key from the truck and a body control module.. I was hoping there would be an easier way to get around having to keep all that stuff in the glove box. Once I figure out a solution I'll be sure to post it here as it seems...

    8x Series V8 Swaps

    Does anyone have any experience with keeping the VATS ON? My swap is pretty much dialed in with everything set and running strong however I just heard that in order to get past the ref I need to have The VATS kept on with no change to the tune. If anyone can shoot me in the direction of how to...

    Anybody know which wire on the Toyota harness is for the obd2 scanner? I’ve got a March 95 fzj80.

    8x Series V8 Swaps

    Thanks for the info. I'm gonna try and stop by a local ref and see what my options are as far as exhaust manifolds. Trying to source all the parts before I pull the motor. Living in this state is getting old

    8x Series V8 Swaps

    That's what I figured. Are there fitment issues when using the stock manifolds (02 denali xl)? I was able to get the cats from the donor truck but I'm assuming they will need to be significantly altered to fit.

    8x Series V8 Swaps

    I'm getting ready to swap in an lq4 out of an 02 denali into my 95 and have been searching a ton of build threads on which exhaust manifolds to use. Is there anyone thats done the swap in California that can chime in on what headers they used? I am going to have to get the truck reffed once done...
