swap

Since no one has a rebuild kit and the only thing I can find close is a couple of misc parts from SOR for $120 (!) I'm wondering if it's possible to swap a later model center arm onto my 67 frame. I know the mount looks different. Every Cruiser parts seller out there has the later model rebuild...

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 ?

Hey how’s it going I’ve bought a 1hdt to replace the 1pz in my 77 series and am considering my gearbox options. Will an h151f from an 80 fit in the transmission tunnel fine? I’m assuming I will have to do some fabrication regarding the crossmembers and lengths of drive shafts? Or has anyone used...
