Dead 1fzfe, what now?

[rgsiii]

The prices I had heard for a diesel conversion were about $10,000 + USD. The person that I talked to, seemed to have been pretty positive about the conversion on his vehicle. However, some things were never quite figured out--it wasn't a "Plug and Play" situation. I don't know cost wise what the best option would be in this case.

screw the 350 throw a tundra v8 in there . Heard it was done on one cruisers haven't seen it though.

Just yank out a Z06 engine... that would move okay.

Partr it out and go find a new one. This would be especially easy if you had e-lockers.

these guys
http://www.engineinstallation.com/
quoted me mid $5k for a <50k used 1FZ-FE installed.
I know that they are not in oregon, but there may be a place that is similar.
WHat confused me is that they said not many are rebuilding the 4.5L, and the way to go are used motors. Why is this, or is this BS?

$OR has a 1FZ-FE (Low mileage Japanese engine) with 5-sp, xfer and EFI computer for $7500. http://www.sor.com/sor/cat801.tam?xax=1343&loop=y&case=FJ80&uu=7865196 . 'Course, knowing them, shipping would be an addition $6K...

I've never dealt with SOR, but are those prices high?

Call Land Cruisers Northwest (503-224-5115) or Land Cruiser Specialties (503-693-1656), they may have something or will know of a place locally.

Ultimauk,
nah the pricing on that peice is for the motor and the 5 speed manual trans. Might be a bit high but nothing out of lign for what you are getting. of course in my opinion what you would be getting is a headache.

You could hire BJowett to hop up the motor! Just a thought.
