I respect this work sooo very much.. I am doing the LS swap right now with a crate motor (which there are millions in the US) and around every corner I have to figure out what bolts I am missing, what size they are and have to track down this bracket, or that starter, or whatever.

To do this on an engine not available in the US!! There is not enough whiskey in my cabinet to take on a project like this....

@Onur came to town!

The FTE work the last day or so is all him.

I kind of wanted to let him have a go at it since he is well, Onur. He was game so he killed it today and late yesterday. And oh man, this engine sure is looking spectacular!

First start and run is going to be out of this world cool!

Making a little transmission progress. All the bits and pieces are in to modify the H152 to mount up to the HDFTE.

Got some more parts back from ceramic coating today. Looking like we might get the turbo mounted up soon.

Oh and here is what the insides of the new H152 look like when you take it apart....

Great looking truck John. I look forward to seeing it!

 

[SNLC]

Still figuring out all the hardware for everything here before final mounting but you get the idea.

The engine build "porn" in this thread is out of control... I've got a feeling this whole thread is gonna be like that. Man... loving it.

Anyone want to add some pep to their cruiser this year?

SOLD - Idaho: 1HD-FT/H151 combo

I bought a 1995 HDJ80 for my diesel swap and am now parting out what I did not need. First on the chopping block is the engine/transmission/transfer case. The engine is the 1HDFT 24 valve turbo diesel and the transmission is the H151 5 speed. The transfer case is the 80 series case that came...
