engine swap

Not mine. A 1964 Fj40 with interesting patina. Mostly original except for the engine swap. $9,500. https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/d/davis-1964-toyota-land-cruiser-fj40-v8/7840143362.html https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/d/davis-1964-toyota-land-cruiser-fj40/7836180828.html

Like the title says I am considering swapping the 2f in my truck for an om606 as I am attracted to the lack of electronics, power increase, lack of a carburator to screw with, and just a diesel in general. This is my current spread sheet with parts: Link Having done a bit of research on the...

decided to change directions on one of my builds. I originally bought the blackbox adapter to do a duramax swap in my 80 series. The Allison uses a 29 spline output shaft, as well as the 6l90e. I decided to switch back over to a ls and bought a 6l90e for that swap. I’m looking to sell the...

For those of you who have followed, supported, encouraged, and helped me to get this far with my truck, Thank You! My wife has dubbed our truck "Sandy". It's a perfect name, for her, because of the color, for me, because every surface of the inside of the truck has a fine layer of sand, as if...

I reckon it’s time to start documenting the M57 swap project I have going on. Backstory: I purchased my 62 from an older couple in north Alabama for $4k. The husband had many other projects and was trying to thin his herd and decided to let the 62 go. Initially, I was just going to restore it...

I’m ideally looking for a shop close by but anything within 150ish miles would be good. From what I’m told the swap shouldn’t be too difficult as some of the later LJ78s have them stock. I’ve got a new motor I’m ready to buy I just don’t have time with my work to do it myself. Plus I’ve got...

I have been the steward of this 11/1974 40 for about 5 years now. To my knowledge it has the original F1.5 motor, which is pretty tired at this point. I've always thought a 2F would be a nice upgrade, so when this add came up I was eager to make a deal with @Vulcan . Like most folks in the...

I'll cut to chase and start with my need/request first. Below I will also summarize my pending plans for those interested, as I'm sure the title will bring some questions. I am looking at swapping a 1GZ-FE V12 from a 2nd gen Toyota Century (GZG50) into an 80 series. I need someone who has more...

Looking for some help here: I have a potential offer to swap my 80 series for a FJ62 with a L83 v8. I have always wanted one of these. I want to know what I am getting into. The L83 for the swap was not brand new when put in. The engine rebuilt/resealed L83, w/ a Texas Speed AFM/DOD delete kit...

Hi all, Unfortunately the wife's runner blew its head gasket yesterday and has a hydrolocked engine now. We purchased it about 3 months ago from a guy who seemed like he took really good care of it, regular maintenance, owned it forever, is in excellent condition.... but i guess that's the...

I have 1988 fj62 with ls swap 5.3 / 4l60e. Gets 10MPG max on fwy. 33" tires and roof rack. I see users claiming 15 MPG average. Could it be that bad with the tires nad rack?

Hi new to the forum. A friend of mine asked me to help him on a 1kz-te engine swap into an old International Scout that he is restoring. The engine he has has a front sump oil pan that is going to interfere with the front differential. What applications came with a rear sump pan that we should...

I love my 60. It’s just slow AF. Its in great condition but really almost unsafe to drive in traffic bc its so slow. Anyone aware of any shops in the south east that could do an engine swap? I’m halfway considering doing it. My truck has a perfect interior and near perfect exterior.

Hey everyone. First time poster, long time appreciator. My name is Will and I’m the proud owner of a beautiful black over tan ‘06 LX470 with 329,000. But unfortunately as of this afternoon, after speaking with the mechanic and receiving the bad news, she will need a heart transplant. I’m kind of...

Hey was wanting to diesel swap my 1988 fj62 Land Cruiser I’m located in San Diego was wondering if anybody knew of any shops who would be willing to do an engine swap want quality work for a good price.

I have both a 1995 and a 93 1fz and need to swap the engines, wiring is fried due to engine fire in the 95 and the 93 is rusting to bits so I’m putting the 93 engine into the 95 because it has less kms on the engine and a new clutch. Can’t really find a harness anywhere for the 95 so iv been...

Happy new year cruiser heads! So i have been busy since my last engine swap… My 1987 Toyota landcruiser is now powered by a 2010 LY6 6.0l ls and 6l80e transmission with advanced transfer-case adapter and twin stick kit. The new combination boasts a estimated 400hp fully rebuilt engine with a...

Has anyone put a 350 Chev in their cruiser? I have the opportunity to buy a nearly new one for $2000 and could source a manual transmission to suit.

Was lucky enough to find a healthy running 3b motor and now I have mission of pulling my old one out. My question is, is there any bits and pieces (that arnt entirely obvious) that I'll need for the swap.
