Build Back in a 60 series - 1HZ Swap

[The Phoenician]

That looks good.

I installed the compressor and top manifold plate where the hoses go. The manifold will allow me to use standard #8 and #10 hose fittings since I'm going to install an aftermarket parallel flow condenser up front.

 

[davegonz]

I got the manifold info from @Rock40 and a link to a compressor from @lynchmob. The compressor is aftermarket, but looks like a good quality piece. It also shipped from Mansfield, TX so I got it pretty quick.

Here's a generic layout of what the AC system looks like using standard AC fittings.

One of these days you’ll have a break from completely rebuilding Landcruisers, I’m sure it’ll be a very short break though haha.. The build is looking awesome Dave!! Makes me want to get a 60 for a weekend family car.

 

[davegonz]

Thanks man. Working on cruisers is how I burn off stress from work, school, and family.

The new condenser came in and I installed it this evening. I think it's going to work. Just need to clearance the plastic grill a tiny bit.

Amazing how much you can stuff behind the cruiser grill. Looks great Dave. Prolly need to do some custom trim work on the grill eh’. I had to trim mine so my intercooler could fit.

That's a parallel flow condenser? Have you posted the part number already? Looks like it fits perfectly.

 

[davegonz]

Yep. It's a generic 16x24. Tons of them online. I bought this one off of ebay.

I installed the intercooler and made a bracket. I need to clean up the piping though .

 

[bottombracket]

[Hojack]

Dave you going to install a cold air intake? Mine works great on my 04 Dodge 3500.

 

[davegonz]

I'm going to run a 1HDT round filter housing lid with a 80 series filter housing body hooked up to my dorkel.

 

[Hojack]

dorkel

 

[GLTHFJ60]

You can fit a larger intercooler in there

 

[davegonz]

Yeah, I need to test fit the large one I initially bought.

 

[boozewz]

What brand/model is that intercooler?

Great work!

 

[davegonz]

No name on it, but I can get some dimensions for you if you want.

 

[boozewz]

Yes sir that would be great
