are you sure ALL cruisers do....?All cruiser trannies only use 4 bolts, at least the manual variety.
Great thread guys. I also picked up 8 of the 1HZ's from a mine in Nevada (all spoken for, sorry). We were able to source all of the needed parts. Beleive it or not I grabbed my 1HZ to H55F bellhousing direct from Toyota (local dealer) however my clutch fork, pilot bearing and flywheel came from a source in Japan.
I spent a month in Aussie this summer and was able to located several reliable sources for new and used 1HZ parts. Was sorta refreshing to walk into a salvage yards in a small Aussie town and ask if he happened to have a 1HZ starter motor, points to one on the counter and asks "will this one work". They even let us borrow some tools to pull some needed brackets and such.![]()
Whats your 1HZ going into?
One of the great things about owning a 1HZ here,is that the smaller and more remote a town is,the more likely they will have 1HZ parts.
Its the main truck for farmers and govt workers.
I've still got a couple for my personal projects. I'm still up in the air. I'd like to do a 1HZ/H55F 60, SOA, FF, SOA, etc. But I have sold 3 clean builder 60's all destined for this project and my SOA FJ62, 37's, ARB's, 4.88's, etc. It just didn't get used and I'm really aprehensive to build another vehicle that will not get used.
So... my wife has a 66' 45 long bed that needs a motor and I'd really like to do a 1HZ in my 40? Still up in the air as you can tell.
1HZ's were everywhere in Aussie, we spent a considerable amount of time in them (HZJ105).
A 1HZ in a 45 would be cool. One thing I like about the 1HZ in oz,is that the more remote the area,the more likely you can find parts or someone who knows the engine inside out.
I stopped at Warakirna roadhouse(in W Aust,300 miles west of Uluru)a few years back and the mechanic had 6xHZJ75 and a couple of Hiluxes on his to do list![]()
Thanks Dan,
I sent that pic to the company making the adapter so hopefully they can tell me if its a match.
One question about your 151...Did it go into 5th gear. I've heard rumors that the mines used a block off plate for 5th to keep speed down. I looking at buying the one Heem has for sale. He's told me it won't go into 5th.
Do you mind if I ask what you sold yours for? pm me if you don't want to post it.
