I need alot of advice.... I WANT to swap out my 2b for a 1HD-T, 1HD-FTE(or equivelant series). I also would like to install the mated tranny. I have no idea where to begin. I have a friend who has done many engine swaps but not on a cruiser. I have a few years left here on okinawa and would like to take advantage of getting a great (the best) engine I can. I have not heard or found anybody who has done this but I believe it will be worth it. I am doing research ahead of time to see if it will even be worth the hassle. Here are a few questions to get started...
1. Which engine should I go with. Is it gonna be feasable
2. Will I need to make different motor/tranny mounts...etc..etc
3. Will the radiator fit or will I have to make major mods.
4. Can I keep it a 24V system or is it better to change.
5. Will I need to beef up my front suspension due to the bigger engine.
6. Do I need a new rear end to handle the additional power.
7. The engines I am looking at are out of cruiser with all time 4Wheel drive...how is that gonna work?
Please point me in the right direction to make the Ultimate Cruiser!!!
