1995 5.3L w/o lift kit

[RockJock82]

The tach works based off the signal from the GM PCM. I am not using a converter box on this one.

I have been making changes to each harness in attempt to get more and more of the factory gauges and lights to function like stock. Such as low oil level, trans temp ect. So far I have everything else working.

I do not have a pinout for the 91-92 as haven't converted one yet. The 94 is posted on another thread as well as the 95-97 pinout. If you have a specific question in regards to the wiring fire away.

You'd probably do well to start selling motor mount and driveshaft kits

Not a bad idea.

Maybe with a CV option for guys needing that..

Now you can tune it for proper running conditions.

Does the cruise control work?

 

[Death Star]

6.0L would be essentially the same, no?

 

[slow95z]

any gen III or IV would be the same, the accessories mounting will be different depending on vehicle.

Does the cruise control work?

Yes the cruise works.

Beautiful! I really need to save my pennies for this!

 

[DavidinAZ]

stupid question, but since you've done both, which do you prefer? 5.3 or 6.0?

 

[slow95z]

what did you do for the stock oil and temp to work? use the toyota sensor and tap a hole?

as the saying goes there is no replacement for displacement. So I do prefer the 6,0l

I reuse all the stock Toyota sensors. I make an adapter for the oil sensor and use a brass adapter for the coolant.

Which Dirty Dingo mounts did you use. I don't see one listing the 80 series

Marks adapter for 4l60E to stock landcruiser case?

I wanted to share a few photos of a 1995 80 series that we installed a 5.3L into. We were able to install engine without having to use a lift kit, which most will say you need a lift kit.

The transmission uses a shallow 4L60e pan with no modifications. The trick is all in driveshaft and engine vertical placement when installing the motor mounts. Drive shaft is 1.75 diameter tubing with Toyota flanges. View attachment 1161931View attachment 1161932View attachment 1161933
Clears the pan perfectly

Do I need to get the 1.75 inch driveshaft if I get the 3" OME lift kit?

Dirty Dingo engine mounts, custom built dual bypass radiator with dual 12" Spal fans that are controlled by the GM PCM. I do not use headers as they are prone to leaks, Hooker cast manifolds are what I use as they are the tightest fitting.

We used a pretty heavy gauge tube so I don't believe that will be happening

Did you use the center or rear dump Hooker exhaust manifolds? Is ceramic coating worth the extra $$$?

If I use the shallow 4L60e pan with a 3" lift and the highest motor mount placement, will I be able to use the stock driveshaft?
