The holy grail of Land Cruiser diesel engines!!!!
This is my personal 1HDFT engine. I started 5yrs or so ago with a fairly beat down 1HDFT and built it up starting with the crank. I have built it myself, machine work was done by my well trusted machine shop.
This engine received an absolute ton of new OEM parts. This includes a brand new 1HDFTE bare head that is loaded with ALL new parts. It is topped off with a Yanmar 1HDFTE valve cover I had cerakoted. Very few parts not replaced, the crank and block are original.
Block stripped to bare metal and painted with high temp engine paint. New head got painted at the same time. All parts have been painted or powder coated or cerakoted. A few things got ceramic or just vapor honed and cerakote clear. Some new zinc plating as well. All old crusty hardware (nuts, bolts, brackets) have been replaced with new Toyota hardware.
It has a Winks turbo, it’s used but looks nearly new and checks out to be in excellent condition. I have been told this turbo can put out 30psi.
This engine is built for 400hp. It is brand new and never been started. I am not saying it will put out 400hp as is but it is prepped for that much power if that is what you desire.
This 1HD-FT will drop into any Cruiser that has a 1HZ or 1HDT with zero mods, nearly plug and play. It will fit in any other Cruiser from a 40-series to a 100-series. This one is from a 1995 European HDJ80.
You are going to need to tune it yourself once you install it in whatever Cruiser you have. We can install it for you as well!
This is a hard thing to price, I am pricing a used unknown condition 1HDFT at $10k. That is what it costs us to get one into the USA and start a build on. So that is easily what a used engine with hundreds of thousands of kms will cost. So a core of unknown condition running or not 1HDFT cost in today’s market is $10,000+.
I am not selling a core or used engine or any thing like that! I am selling a new 1HD-FT with upgrades, built by me with my two hands!!


Price: $26,500 if we install in your Cruiser, not including install!!
Price: $28,000 if we ship it to you or your shop
-1995 1HD-FT 24-valve mechanical turbo diesel - after many back and forth discussions on the forum over the years I would say the general consensus is; the 1HD-FT is peak Land Cruiser diesel any way you slice it!! And I got the goodies right here!!!
