Cheers Dave, I actually discussed this at length with Des from Townsville gearbox Reconditioning.He specializes in gearboxes, car ,truck,4WD etc with some 35+ years in the gearbox business.. He advised that the 1HZ AND 2H shafts are not interchangeable as the gear teeth are cut at slightly different angles and will destroy each other and other parts under load. The different cut is not obvious to the eye and does not show in a photograph.However the shaft does fit in the box and it does feel correct when turned by hand when fitted.He said everything feels ok and you would not be aware of the difference until its under load in the vehicle. He said a few years ago there was an imput shaft that was available that was actually interchangeable but it is no longer available.He said from memory it was available not long after the boxes were changed. He said he wished he could get them now as so many people come and ask about the conversion.The alternative would be to change the input shaft and the lay shaft as well but I would expect then the driven gears would need to be changed.I did not inquire into this scenario as I wanted to find out if I put all new parts in my box could I change the shafts if I swapped motors at a later date . So I decided to go turbo instead.beanz2 said:BBD, does it appear that the 1HZ and the 2H input shafts interchange completely? I need to hear that ...

cheers Tapage, Sorry , I should have been a bit more thoughtful when I posted that its quite confusing.Tapage said:left 2H and right 1HZ . ?
They are few and far between here also.LOL. Most of the engine sellers want $7,500.00 + for one. Most of the time it is cheaper to buy an old wagon with one in it for a lot less. Perhaps a reflection of the motor being scarce and valued by the 4WD boys and the truck and bus people who want to re power with more HP and good reliability.They are far more expensive to buy than a 1HZ and most are still dearer than a 1HDT but then they were an expensive motor to manufacture in their day.Tapage said:Here we haven't much 12H-T less oportunities to have one .. but who knows, maybe I'm a lucky man ..
Also I always thought in turbo charging my 2H
