Hi guys,

Looking to buy a 80 series chassis and put a 79 single cab on top.

What would you advise in terms of engine?

I like the 3uz for the fact that is lighter, I am looking to create the lightest setup possible, this is kind of an ls swap alternative and more reliable.
But i am not sure if a 2uz would have more resale value due to the existing Slee offroad conversions, more heavy duty then the 3uz...

I would guess the 2uz consumes quite a bit more than the 3uz?

I am also trying not to lose too much money if i am forced to sell in 5 years.
 

Here you go.

@sr5pickup built an amazing 79.

So cool, he posted the other day about his 2uz on the 79.

I now understand better that the 2uz might be a better choice for Rockcrawling since the torque comes up much earlier than the 3uz.
And i have perfect experience with my lx470, I have never experienced lack of power in any situation.
