Builds 2018 GCC Spec 79 Series 1HD-FTE + H152 - The Camel (4 Viewers)

[SNLC]

We painted Johns FTE long block today and started assembling it.

This is simply gorgeous.

Looks like we got some sub tank parts.

The bed is going out early next week for a color match LineX.

Cheers

Hmm, let me know on these. I have an idea cooking.

Will do. Came up with a scenario today in which the end result is a 1PZ for sale. That would be putting one HDFT in the 79...the other HDFT in my PZJ77. Still kind of contemplating that but seems like a pretty smart solution with the @gilmorneau truck. I could use the harness for the 79 series running the HDFT along with the frame and axles. That leaves an engine and transmission that would go nicely into the green PZJ77. I’m left with some cool JDM 80 series cloth interior for sale and the 1PZ.

Damn. How'd i miss this thread. Dude, 1VD-FTV all the way seeing as you already have a ripper 1HD-FTE. And a factory late model bonnet (or hood as you guys call it).

Damn it. That bonnet was probably the first thing I thought about when I got to thinking about this truck. I just don’t know enough about the v8’s to get fully behind it.

2UZ all the way

X2 to this, gonna be epic. If you can get your hands on a 1VD, they're a good engine
Bit of infrastructure to make her run, but nothing sounds like a worked 1VD

Really not complicated at all. I bet an Aussie spec wiring harness, computer ect will all work. Being a GR i bet the engine mounts on the frame are different however. But cos they are still in production, should be able to get everything.

@AussieHJCruza yea I’ve been watching Youtube videos of the 1VD’s doing hill climbs. And it bolts right up the H152.

Yea I think everything is available new. Cluster, harnesses and all. This thing is like a really fancy set of Lego‘s.

Here we go....

We are going 80-chassis so it all needs to be fabbed or get stock brackets and weld on.

Already discussed internally.

Discussions are always on going.

Yeah, I can imagine, probably a 1VD on the way already. You guys have your heads switched on

Just a legal replacement engine for my old Corolla......should be fine.

 

[gilmorneau]

Heck, I only recommended the 1HD-FTE because he already has it. lol...

But, hey, if ya'll really want to go large, then hell yeah, 1VD! In for a penny, in for a pound, right? Besides, the V8 is a better match to the H152 anyway.

Tut, tut....we agreed in post #6 not to go there.....

His enablers would never advise him on something so logical.

If this isn't taboo...what will it be registered as?
