80s help with engine swap or rebuild. (6 Viewers)

Well, it came to my conclusion after probably 25 hours of total research and talking to as much people as I can that an LS swap would be more ideal for me, but some of the companies can help install, but they are not budget friendly, I prefer to buy a kit and someone could help me install it, but when I tried to contact some of these companies, they don’t really sell the actual kits they just do the install.

I mean, some of the companies you contacted DO sell components for a LS Swap: Torfab and CruiserMatts.

A LS Swap needs, at a minimum:
T-case adapter
Motor Mounts (need to be welded)
Water/Oil Sensor adapters
GM Wiring Harness
Dakota GSS-3000 (for dash gear lights)

Toyota Tach can be easily modified for a V8.

Plenty of companies sell GM Wiring Harnesses that are nearly plug and play.

What is left is integration into the Toyota harness and Transmission Gear Shifting.

Nothing like driving a V8 80 Series.

Yeah I was checking them out but the wire harness and sensors is where I’m not sure where I’ll be able to get them. The 60/62 series is much easier lol

CruiserMatt sells sensor adapters: Oil and Water. He also sells motor mounts that does the best job of placing an LS motor into a US 80 series.

Marks4WD (out of Australia) sells t-case adapters, mount mounts adapters, sensor adapters and many other things. Example: Transfer Case Adaptor - 6L80E to LandCruiser 80/100

I have used stuff from CruiserMatt and Marks4WD.

I use the GM harness that came with my motor, but many buy a ready made harness. Example: PSI

There are also adapter to connect a AN hose to Toyota steering box, as well as the Toyota fuel line
