v8

V8 with an edelbrock carb, PO didn't need to pass emissions but I do. TN 1975 and older are required. I'm close, 7.5 reading on CO (5.0 is allowed). I set my floats, checked my fuel pressure, and have my mixture screws as low and even as possible. New clean air filter 14x3. Now, my dizzy has...

Hey all, Well the time has come for me to sell this beauty too soon if you ask me. I don't have the time to get the use out of it I thought I would and won't for the foreseeable future. This was a great introduction to this community and family of cruisers, I know I'll be back at some point for...

I'm starting to do lot of research into putting a 2003-07 LQ4/LQ9 with a 4L80E into my '96 FZJ80. @lazy's thread about his conversion has been a massive help, and I plan on following his footsteps except for a few things to keep my budget down. I plan to run the OEM gauges and radiator, and...

Hey guy I have an 84 fj60 and I'm looking to put a chevy 350 tbi in it this winter. If any of you guys have done this before and could create a parts list for me that would be great. I want to keep the price as low as possible. I don't know what I want for a transmission yet but I would like to...

I saw this on Tor's Facebook page and I was blown away. I think this is probably the best Land Cruiser configuration IMO. But I am curious to see what others think of this build pros/cons? FB link here: Torfab - Timeline | Facebook Photo here...

Hi Guys I im looking at buying a 79 Dual Cab with the 1VD-FTV engine and wanted to know if they are having any issues in terms of reliability? I have the choice of going for the 1HZ or 1VD-FTV (V8) and leaning towards the latter due to performance benefits. Thanks

Saw this video on youtube and really impressed with this 100 set up but not enough info on the rig by the owner. May be someone here on Mud :) and can share with us his set up besides the obvious front/rear bumpers :)

I have 1968 fj40. I am still a newbie with FJ's but I've done my research and decided on doing a LS swap with a NV4500 5speed swap. I still have a few questions though. What modifications need to be done to drive shafts with the NV4500? I've been told that a split case for the transfer case is...

i just bought a 1968 FJ40, I live in Arizona. I plan on making it a daily driver, and having it out on our freeways in AZ. I want to put in a V8 and a 5 speed transmission if that's possible. What engine and transmission would be best? What issues would I have with a transfer case fitting with...

the 1UZ-FE engine trans I have is from a 1992 LS-400. It has a front sump oil pan. The engine was pulled with 112,000 miles on the clock. What is included is engine, trans, engine harness, ECU, and TCU. It was going to go into a project but I ended up selling it and don't have any other plans...

Ok, Im tierd of tryi g to tweak my v8 conversion, to handle the heat of mini.um highway legal speed (60). The brute force soloution seems to be a radiator with lots of excess capacity, and electric fan and shroud. Something designed for a v8 originally. Its a 82 chevy, 305ho, but id like a...

ok, I've got a 350Chev with a starting issue. Turn the ignition and starter engages then just seems to short out. It sound electrical not mechanical. Here's a video. The sound is the key. The starter does turn the engine over 1/4 turn but then stops and 'ticks' out. In the video, I'm drawing...

Thinking of swaping out my 4.5 for a later model 4.7 V8. Any idea on a tranny match up? Or if there is adaptor made? Would like to keep stock tranny and transfer case. Thanks,

Salt Lake City 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser on KSL.com What an amazing vehicle! I have owned it for 4 years, and am only selling it to fund my next adventure. I just don't use enough to warrant keeping it, so let it go to someone who will put it to better use! This was previously owned and built by...

I've got my 22re out and in the process of removing everything I don't need. This is the first engine swap I've ever done so bare with me... Been researching for a few weeks and I have a pretty good list of what I need to do and buy for this to work. But I Had some questions. Is there anything...

So a buddy of mine in Colorado has been on the hunt for an 80 series with a bad motor or with high mileage. He wants an 80 with a v8 which is why he has been seeking the truck with a bad motor. He has been looking for like 3-4 months at least but I think we just found the right truck 100 miles...
