Interestingly, the alternator is on top of the (GM) motor and on my 1HZ it's down low

Thanks Gareth, I'm going to:
Port the LIM and M90 inlet/outlet
https://au.storeslider.com/larger-high-flow-u-bendelbow-for-holden-commodore-l67-221668910328e.html and 85mm LS1 TB
MAP & MAT
4" inlet to 6" pod holder then into my snorkel
1.9:1 rockers
10psi pulley
stock ex manifolds into 2.5" single/high flow system (quiet/flow)
Should be enough

sounds good! will also be good to have things like a single serpentine belt and tensioners, good power steer pump which should be easily hoooked up to the toyota box, A/C compressor should also be pretty easy to hook up to the toyota setup.
Looks like a major backward step to me and to a limited, rough, gutless engine. Would be much better of with a Falcon 4.0L, turbo if you want or a 1FZE and a440 would be easiest/best, nearly all stock parts and heaps of potential.

Say what you really mean Hulsty hahaha, it's hard to imagine why you would put it like that, but I only have to make me happy. The L67/M90 combinatoion is well proven, tough and reliable and capable of much more horsepower and torque quite easily.

It's going to fit in easily and I won't need a bonnet scoop, very stealthy indeed

Don't let the diesel guys beat ya down. I'm putting a GM 5.3 / 4L65E in my BJ 73 and lovin' it.

nothing wrong with the conversion imo. Im a diesel fan, but for the price of this conversion, torque and power output and the reliability i cant see whats wrong with it. It seems the engine needs to be a dohc hi-tech motor to even get a look in or positive comment. People have been bagging out the old V6 for years, they may not be as refined as a 1uz or LS2, but the bottom line is they easily get the job done without much fuss. Its sequentially fuel injected, resonably economical, and a torquey little donk in a compact package.....and did i mention CHEAP.....also very easy to wire up.....

hehe yeah, I was one of those diesel guys at one point, it's gonna be funny when I have a Troopy that I can smoke up at the lights yet cruise around stealthily when I please.

Stock next LS1 85mm, this'll get a bit more air through:
not so sure a big throttle body is what you want, im pretty sure the stock sucker flows 500cfm +, a bigger one may yeild better top end but make the throttle really touchy when driving in the bush.....i suppose you will see when its all done

yeah fxxx it, all in I reckon, I could have bolted on a 102mm LS1
No doubt about ya, just gotta be tinkering

When I spoke to Mark's Adaptors to get the OAL of the transfer/trans adaptor, I forgot to mention that the standard 80 series auto trans mount will bolt straight onto it in the same position as stock.
Holy crap, I can't fathom how you'd ditch so easily all that fabulous custom work you did. Did it not work as planned or something like that? What happened to your intercooler plenum thingamebob?

It worked out really well Damo, but I think the guy who sold it to me lied about how old the bottom end was as it very quickly started to have a blowby problem with the big turbo. I sold the whole engine etc complete to a guy knowing full well what he was buying so we're both happy. I just didn't want to spend a whole lot of money on the same thing again.
Now I'll have 300hp+ and waaay more torque using less fuel and yes, a man needs a project

I see, that would explain it, and I know exactly what you mean about not spending big to have the same thing again - says the man currently rebuilding his 1HZ for the third time
