ls swap

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...

After reading this post skit to #24. #2-#23 are full of confusing info as I was in the process of deciding what I was going to do. Sorry 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...

Hello all, I have recently been tasked with LS swapping my dad's 78 Landcruiser. I have been looking into it a lot, having a little trouble finding help online. Has anyone been through this process that could offer some tips? I looked for a thread discussing it but could not find one, if I am...

Pulled this powertrain out of my personal FJ80 to do an LS swap. I have the full engine, emissions equipment, air box and meter, ECU, and all accessories. Price includes the A440 trans with ECU and tcase however I will need parts of the harness to facilitate the LS installation. The engine...

Hey anyone doing clean,correct LS Swaps in Atlanta? I am looking to do a 6.2 8l90 swap. I am picking up motor and trans this week. ECM TCM etc. thanks for the help!!

I am getting close to wrapping up a vortec swap in my 62, and have noticed some odd behavior from my transfer case. Wondering if anyone has a recommendation, or experience with something similar. Basically it seems like the 4l60 doesn't stop spinning enough for the transfer case to be shifted...

Reluctantly selling my 1991 FJ80 that has been LS swapped. It has an all aluminum GM L92 engine (403HP, 417lbft TQ) and 6L80E transmission swapped in from a 2007 GMC Yukon Denali donor. The build was completed in 2021 and has over $30K in parts alone invested. A spreadsheet of the build has...

Air Filter Lid from 1997: $60 + shipping Shifter from 1991 Land Cruiser $125. Shipping is available.

Picked up this LX450 several months ago. Also just picked up this van with an L96 and 6l90. Hope to eventually swap the drivetrain in the van into the LX. Just started driving it and realized how slow and sluggish it is. Figured id start a thread just in case. Hopefully I'm doing this right.

I have a new LS1aluminum 5.7, a 100k mile aluminum 5.3 already DOD deleted and ready, and a new iron 6.0. The 4l80 and rebuilt T-case are already installed and new drivelines made and installed. This will be for sale once finished, and I'm curious what more people would want?? Basically rust...

Hello everyone - Made the decision to finally move my LS swapped 80 to a manual. Ideally I'd like a 6 speed T56. Anyone have any parts lists or other wisdom? Appreciate it! Scott

This stuff was ordered to perform a Gen-III LS Swap, but I have decided to go Gen-V, so this stuff needs to go. All parts are located in Tyler, TX 75701, and pick up or a meet up is encouraged. Part – Condition – Cost (All prices include shipping to the lower 48 unless noted otherwise)...

Hey all, I don’t post on here a ton as my FJ62 is is many pieces and I’m slowly rebuilding. I am getting to the point where I can’t find a solid lead on a gen 4/6l80 combo anywhere. Most reasonable donors are more expensive than. FB marketplace “ran fine when I pulled it” are sketchy. Anyone...

I've installed a 2000 Tahoe in my 88, well it's still in the works. I've used a new but stock specifications radiator. Does anyone have ideas or suggestion on where to connect the throttle body coolant return line? I think on a stock Tahoe radiator there's a fitting on the radiator where it...

The 2F in my 60 is dead and the shop it is at is recommending that I do a LS swap versus rebuild the 2F. Their reasoning is that I plan on taking a lot of trips in it, towing a small military trailer on those trips. They think I will be much happier in the long term with more power. If I do...

Do long tube headers fit on ls swapped 80's? Mine is 6 litre (ly6) 4l70e transmission Everything else apart from lift (3inch OME) is stock! I'm just rebuilding my engine so nothing is in yet!
