Hi mud brain trust
I would like this to be in relatively open thread where people can post questions and advice from their own LS swaps into 40s, So it can be a goldmine same work.
I have spent countless hours searching and reading various build threads here and garnered a ton of information...
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...
Hey y'all, I'm a 24 y/o husband and dad trying to build my dream truck. Not a ton of mechanic experience, but recently did a timing chain job and a transfer case rebuild job that gave me a lot of confidence in my ability to figure it out. I have friends with lots of mechanic experience including...
Oh man.. I have been looking for a "Poverty Pack" 80 series for over 4 years now. The biggest thing I wanted was no sunroof and no opportunity for leaks or rust as much as possible. I finally found for a 1991 FJ80 without a sunroof. It also was factory flawless which is nice. Interesting enough...
Selling my Lokar Cable shifter for 4l60e.
Everything works fine on it, just going a different direction. The handle/button on it is new. The shift lever shaft was originally chrome and i painted it black and its got some scratches in it and just needs another coat of rattlecan. One of the...
Hi all!
Followed along on mud for quite a while only to recently decide maybe I should share my build on here too.
This is my 4th cruiser (3rd purchase) and I'm finally getting to the point where I'm excited about it again instead of hating every second of it. As we all know, these things are a...
$380 Shipped.
I bought these mount adapters for my FJ60 LS swap but found they are best suited for using an auto trans as opposed to keeping the H55f. New, never installed. 60-Series Toyota LandCruiser LS Engine Frame Adapter — Well Sorted Automotive -...
LS1 Aluminum 5.7 with forged rods and pistons, all new with a 4l80e trans. T-case rebuilt by Overland Cruisers (local to me). Extended range 36 gal. tank, new driveshafts from Tom Woods. Should be a hoot! Now it's carpet time, couple small spots to deal with on drivers floor, otherwise this is a...
Hey all, I've been working on an LS/NV4500 swap on my 86 fj60 for a few years now and I'm wondering if anyone could help me figure out my T-case positioning/alignment. I was driving it for a while before I decided to replace the original motor mounts, bell housing, and now exhaust. In pulling...
I swear that I saw someone who posted part numbers for one piece upper and lower radiator hoses when doing an LS swap but I closed the window and can’t seem to find it anymore through search and the google machine. Does anyone have them?
I’m installing a 5.3 with a Ron Davis direct fit radiator...
Finally making some time for this in between working on the ongoing M715 build
Here’s the FJ40…
I’ve owned this since 2000 when it was a bone stock rusty basket case. It’s been through the standard evolution of changes.
In 2003, I installed the Vortec 5.7 from a 1996 Suburban and at...
My good partner of 27 years may have to go. My 1997 80 had 265K when a head gasket leak caught me by surprise. A used engine was swapped in, and all was well until a few weeks ago, when an engine knock started. It seems impossible to find people willing to open up an old engine on a...

Long story short my wifes 60 sat in our garage waiting for its heart transplant with the engine/trans/transfer out of it. Our puppy labrador decided the starter wires looked tasty to chew on. Pics are what is left. LS in in now and I need to wire the starter, and need to know what each wire is for?
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...
I have an 5.3 LS swapped (Proffitts) 1991 80 with 160k miles on it. It’s absolutely beautiful and everything is dialed in. Rebuild transfer case, full float axles and Eaton lockers build by @orangefj45. Really too much to list from the sound deadening, stereo, rack, bumpers, disc brakes...

I'm starting this thread to document the parts, costs and work done, as fully as possible. Ill be adding info as I go along. Im doing all work myself except...
