engine swap

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 ?

2008 Cadillac Esclade 6.2L all aluminum L92 engine. Highly sought after complete L92 engine with good ECM included. Engine was pulled from running and driving 2008 Escalade with 114K miles on it in May 2023. Engine ran strong, made no noise and did not burn oil. Bought this with plans of...

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??

I have a 1990 auto 4Runner with a blown engine in the US..so I’m wanting to swap out for a 2l-te mostly because it’s my understanding it could swap over to the current automatic transmission bellhousing and it will be reliable. Any info on this route would be very helpful 🙏🙏

It has been forever since I've been on here. My poor TLC has been sitting since I broke the engine (threw a rod in March of 2021). I have done zero to her. 190,000 original miles on the frame. Recently rebuilt the transmission and transfer case. I am going to need to buy a new vehicle...

I am purchasing a 88 FJ62 that cracked the head and the owner now wants to sell. The rig has 145k miles and I am debating on the best course of action for getting her back up and running and I would love some feedback or opinions from the group here. As I see it, I have a few options without...

Planning to do an engine swap on my J**p this winter. Wondering if someone has an engine hoist to loan. Willing to repay the loan with unskilled labor or random used 80 parts. Chris

Dear all, gathering parts for my future BJ45 resto and purchased a good 2H engine (300,000 km/190,000 miles). Got it from a German friend who swapped in his 1985 HJ60 a 12H-T. Now I found here in Greece the relic/hulk of another German 1985 HJ60, sitting in the mountains since five years...

Good day one and all; I have a 1978 BJ40 with the 'B' engine which is shot. Has anyone been able to drop anything other then another 'B' without running into a lot of problems? Just wondering. Thanks, Don

I received this FJ62 in a barter with another MUD member quite a few years ago. He had pulled the engine and rebuilt it. Long story...but that engine ended up going into my wife's FJ62, "Urkel", which has it's own thread. Needless to say, the truck was pretty nasty inside. We cleaned what...
