swap engine

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...

Hellos guys, fairly new to this. I have a1995 Fzj80 M/T. I’m looking into a 1HD-FT or FTE swap. I haven’t been able to find a thread about this, maybe I’m not using the forum right. Can any one point me out in the right direction please? If there is not a thread about this particular topic...

Hi everyone. I am thinking about buying a 1987-1995 SWB 70 series. I hace found an interesting one which is a 1987 model and the engine has been swapped with a 2010 3.0 Diesel from a Prado. I will see it next week and test drive it. I know the reliability for the engine is great, however my main...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but going to make a listing for a complete fj60 with a 13bt h55f swap. The body and frame have a ton of rust, which is why I’d like the sell the whole vehicle as a running driving swap! I bought the rig to mainly pull a few parts from and...

Gday all, so I’m a 3rd year mechanic apprentice doing a 1fz swap to a 1hz. Mainly because I’m gonna be touring so I want a diesel for that. Have the engine ready, but no harness. Just wondering if and what is needed for a 1hz engine loom to go in and what I can reuse on the 1fz. It’s a 94 GXL...

I'm wrapping up a 6.5TD swap on my 80 Series and I have some clearance issues with the front drive shaft. I lifted the suspension 3" and installed a narrower shaft from Tom Woods. I'm still a little concerned about the clearance between the shaft and the transmission pan. Although it doesn't...

I am the new owner of one 1983 Toyota Pickup 2WD, 3rd generation, DLX, RN40, L Diesel (2.2), w/ 5-Speed Standard Transmission. It appears the current engine will need a major overhaul. It has bad compression in one cylinder, injector pump needs replacement, head gasket leaks, etc. The...

I have a 1964 Fj40 that I am retromodding to be a rock crawling rig. I bought a running 1999 lx470 to flip for a profit, but ended up considering the idea of swapping that drivetrain(Engine, transmission, transfer case, and rear axle) into the fj40. The original plan was to swap a Cummins R2.8...

Hey y'all, new the those forum here, have had a lot of help over the past couple weeks with my Hilux surf from this forum and I'm loving it. I've reached the point where I've got some questions noone has asked or I've failed to find. So registered a new account n here we go. Got my 1993 surf...

I have a 1993 LJ70 2LT LHD 5-speed manual with a blown engine and looking for an engine upgrade. I am looking to get a bit more power compared to the 2LT. Thinking of doing a swap and wanting to be pointed in the right direction so I can start planning the swap. Located in Texas, United States...

Good afternoon everyone, I´m writing you all from Santiago de Chile. I´m Jorge and I´ve bought a 91' FJ80 in december 2018, and this model has inside the 3FE engine. Currently I´m looking for the chance of swapping my FJ80 due to gas price here (I´ll become poor soon) and the most recurrent...

hi gang, Compression way low in all cylinders and number is blowing air back into the radiator. Previous owner told me the head was just redone and machined not more than 100 miles ago. The tech that has it thinks it could be a cracked head or block. Any motors out there I could rebuild and...

I've scoured threads here and on Pirate and can't determine the answer to the following question in absolute: Will a (pre 1979) 2F replace an F engine in a 1972 fj40 without modifying the 3 speed transmission? Does it share the same transmission bolt patterns, engine mount location. I am aware...
