engine swap

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.

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.

Has anyone installed a 5.7 gas Toyota V8 engine in an 80-Series?

I have a 97 LC with an engine that may need swapped out. If I were to source a JDM spec motor from landcruiser heaven would it be a simple “one for one” swap or would I run into wiring harness and electrical readout issues since the JDM spec motor does not have an ERG ?

I want a solid axle LC for Moab and Colorado trails. My only hangup with the 80 series is the low power climbing the Colorado passes. Engine swaps are expensive and I have no way to do one. Would it be cheaper to SAS a 100 series?

Found a 1997 FJ80 that blew up its engine a few years ago. The old owner couldent afford to do the rebuild on the engine so I took it off his hands last year and have been working on the truck with the help of my mechanic/friend for the last year. I plan on posting the entire build on here over...

As I look through the engine swaps I realize the easiest, most straightforward swap would be a LS/4l60. It seems I never do the easiest, most straightforward approach to basically anything. Sometimes you work with what you have. What I have is a complete drivetrain from a 99 100 series. I have...

OK... I'll list the specs and what I want to do-just so no one needs to wonder what I am talking about. Please feel free to comment, advise, correct, etc. What I have: 1980 Toyota Land Cruiser HJ45 long-bed pickup H engine 4 speed manual transmission One piece transfer case Left-hand drive...

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I am the proud owner of a 1984 HJ60 equipped with a 2H engine. As many of you might be aware, it's on the slower side. However, I plan on making this my lifelong car and envision undertaking a full restoration to transform it into a ski-van/doomsday vehicle...

Can the front drive axle be removed on 92 FJ80 to test on Dyno with a LS swap without harming the drivetrain or transfer??
