12HT into a 70 series

[coldtaco]

Hi mud world. I will be putting a 12HT into my 2H Ute (pickup for us Americans ). Would like some pictures of the engine compartment and explanations of what had to be modified/changed. Right off the top of my head I am thinking that I will need to come up with a fuel return to the tanks? I will also 90% sure I will do a rhd to lhd swap so any pics of a 12HT in a lhd 70 series would be great. Thanks

Probably just need to get a fuel pickup with the right number of outlets. A 1HZ fuel pickup might do the trick. A 61 series might have a bigger diameter tube.

This is the best installation in MUD

G,day folks, My project started 18 months ago when I found a 1985 FJ73 Landcruiser in my drive way.

I have a 12HT in my 60, there is lasts of side room to work with so converting to LHD should
not be a big concern. I have a LHD converted BJ74with a 13BT. Now, that is a crowded
engine compartment.

The fuel return is not strictly required, just plumb the injector return line back to the inlet side of the lift pump.

Interesting, thanks for the idea.
