Awesome... I'll be following this. Interested in how much one of these conversions go for? Are the 12HT's readily available up in your area?

Thats close enough,135 actually .Same as a 1HZ but at lower rpms.The 12HT has A whopping 30% more torque
I regret selling mine: (

Well, you could always turbo the 1HZ and outperform the 12HT, no?

Great stuff Rob -- keep it up!

Curious to know what the most difficult aspect of this conversion is?

How did you address placing the motor mounts to get the right alignment?

Have you had to make any modifications to the fuel delivery system?

Prolly the hardest part is earlier models did not have vacume shift electrics in the harness, so I either pull the transfercase and move all the parts that make it mechanical shift or rewire for the vacume shift.

One install we used the original mechanical parts, the other is vacume as we ran into some problems with a custom made mechanical shifter and linkage.

I had complete donour trucks, so I had the rad, drive shafts and all the little bits and pieces that can slow down the install.
