Looks good.

You have some great skills and knowledge to be throwing superchargers on everything you own. Good job!

 

[fj55-100]

in life , if you cant put your finger in the barrel , its not worth pulling the trigger .. if it cant be supercharged why drive it ..

Not everyone can live in that world, but anyways...
If it ain’t pushing 500 naturally aspirated, high compression horsepower, I cover my giggling facial expression in your direction.

What trans and tcase setup do you w?

it is a
-01 2UZ out of Cruiser with the rear sump oil pan
-NorthWest Toys bellhousing
-LC Engineering dual comp clutch
-Marlin Crawler built R150 mini truck/hilux trans
-23 spline mini truck/hilux dual cases


first 8+ pages are chit chat, but there is some build info in there....

Build - “It’s only an axle swap and a motor swap” aka AK2AL aka Dream Build

Well, it’s finally happening. The Dream Pig showed up today! After months of searching and a few false starts, the rust free, California edition, super clean, bad transmission, great deal, ‘73 Hog has landed here in Tuscaloosa today. As it sits today: 1973 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 “Iron Pig”...

Depends upon goals.

Aside from shooting myself in my foot, I'm mostly enjoying my 6.0L NV4500 FJ55. Gets the hell out of its own way

I didn't feel it was enough power so piggy number 2 is getting turbo 5.3L. The turbo should handle the issue of over power on parts... ie "soft" power. Waiting on cash/shop time on this

I went with a completely off the wall swap for piggy number 3: 472 big block Cady. 'Old' diesel like power(ie off idle, 210hp/380ft-lbs) in 625lb package(50lbs more than iron block LSx). Actually fits between the rails nicely. Only issue is 40 years out of production Still screwing around with this project

Those old caddy engines are awesome there is a 500 on Craigslist here in Colorado.
