This thread is for V8 swaps to 80 Series Toyota Land Cruisers.
Your truck frame must start with the following: FJ80-0xxxxxx or FZJ80-0xxxxxx. Of course, it can also start with an HDJ/HZJ iteration. Only the Aussies yank out perfectly good Toyota diesel engines to swap V8 power into them... Oh and our friends in the ME as well.
Your frame number will always be on the RH side of your truck, on the frame, right near your front RH shock.
Please post direct links to your build thread, post pertinent technical information, and discuss TECHNICAL aspects of V8 swaps into the 8x platform.
No diesel V8's; only small block or big block petrol V8's.
And, yes, Toyota Industries and Bodine Alumimum 4.7L and 5.7L engines are included. One cannot discount how perfect Toyota V8's are in the 8x Series Chassis. Of course, this option requires the serious expertise.
Please keep all discussions pertinent to only technical aspects of petrol V8 swaps--the real "doing" of a swap; no selling of swaps, no vendor sales, no discussions of merit vs a Toyota power plant.
Just: "I did a LT-1 swap and this is how I did it, these are the parts I used, these are the resources I relied upon (pertinent informational resources), this is how much it cost, this is what I would do differently next time, these are the people that did my swap, this is something new I discovered about X."
Keep it empirically-based and keep it authentic.
Drive fast and take chances.
SO Im trying to figure out which ones on the inside running from the drivers side over would power up my center diif( some connectors were cut out in the melee) But it has been fun!
