1HZ Swap

[browndog]

Hey folks:

Have any of you done a 1HZ swap into an FJ80? I've got a friend with a 96 FJ80, and after my 13BT swap he really wants to convert his to diesel. I was thinking the 1HZ would be the simplest way to go, and it can be turbo'd pretty easily. My main concerns are with transmissions that will work in this vehicle. I'm pretty sure he has an automatic, but I'm not too concerned about that yet. Thanks in advance.

Well, since there were HZJ80's that shouldnt be to much trouble. Find the engine and away you go. There are a few on this board who can help. Personally I'd go with a 5 speed. Either a 55 or 150. You can do the auto but I think it's much more headache.
