Had a Prado with a 1KZT for years. It was a good engine and behaved well but I wouldn't ever consider it a worthy replacement engine....diminished returns and all that... A 1HDT in a 40 though...yummy. I take it you've seen this one..skip to 6:15

why not buy a prado i have 2 lol i just always loved the 40 shape, i ran a 2004 hi lux 1kz for 4 weeks it gave me 100k to 9lts then a 2010 hi lux 4d4 i got 100k to 8,5lt & surprisingly the the 1kz is quiter than the d4d version, i have seen the heads cracked but been fitting the aftermarket ones for about 5yrs & never had one back i will put one on before it goes in, hey just noticed you r from nz do you have the 1kz with the mechanical ve pump on it over there like they do in Europe ?

Thanks thats a nice truck never seen it before
We've got them all. Mechanical KZ, electronic KZ, electronic intercooled KZ and then finally 1KD.
The 1KZ only stopped cracking heads after 2000.
You won't get hilux fuel economy with a hilux engine in a landcruiser. I'm not convinced a 40 makes a good daily driver even with the quietest engine in the world.
They just aren't suited to it and why would you want to wear out a classic doing the daily grind?
Better to keep it as a toy and drive something boring (like a prado) daily. No matter how much time and money you spend on the 40 the prado will still have better brakes, better steering, a better heater, be quieter and can be serviced by anyone.
One of the quietest toyota diesels I've ever heard was a 15B in a Dyna.
Tapage
Club 4X4 Panamá
if it makes a good DD or not .. would not be all on the selected engine .. while a 1KZ would make it feel more " modern " still would be and old tech engine ... but back again, DD a well done 40 series have it own mystique .. matter of taste and targets right .? it must be like trying to compare driving experience from a modern charger with an old one ( from the beloved 60's ) .. never like driving a 454 SS right ..

thanks for the info guys after looking at project again & talking to a gear box expert, i think iam wrong lol not the first time lol the gear box guy suggested a 1hz & gear box would fit a lot better please let me know your thoughts, i have got a yanmar 6lyp engine that need a turbo but otherwise complete would this go onto a landcrusier box & bolt ? Thanks for all your post they r really helpful
Now...that would be a worthy challenge. A number of the boats right here in front of my house have that engine...very nice!!
Is it the Toyota 1hd ft or 1hd t engine that Yanmar use a marine diesel? They put out a lot of HP .The 1HZ worked well in my 73 series because it was a bit lighter than a 75 series,so it should be even better in a 40.
ft or fte I thought...
...
They used both versions.
The H55f that goes behind a 1HZ would be my choice. I think you'll run into problems of length trying to use the H151 or 150
The 1HZ has a smaller clutch than its turbo cousins but there are ways of using a larger clutch with the H55F
