Hi Folks - New to the forum so please be gentle with me
I have recently purchased myself a FJ45 circa 1980. It was imported from South Africa to my home in Edinburgh Scotland.
My knowledge of Land Cruisers is relatively sparse. I was looking for a project vehicle that can be adapted and enjoyed like the vehicles of my youth!
I am planning on making a few modifications, and one I am considering is conversion to Diesel. Ideally a modern diesel for economy and reliability.
The price of fuel in the UK is such that this make my new toy a little less painful on the pocket to use regularly.
I am considering the Hilux Engine (1KD-FTV) as these are readily available. However, I would ideally like to keep the existing running gear. I have a 5 speed transmission (H55F) although I'm not as I don't know how to identify it exact yet.
Does anyone know if there is a bellhousing adapter on the market that will allow this swap?
Thanks
Mike
