There is no 1HZT from the factory. Perhaps you meant to say 1HDT?

Factory 1HZT

First up, apologies if this has been covered before as my attention to 1HZ topics has been somewhat lacking... I've always been under the impression that the 1HZ was only ever offered from the factory as a N/A (non turbo) engine, and the engine code 1HZ-T used by people that have added the...

Wow. You learn something new every day.

Never say never.

Might have to put one of these in the cart!

Ha! That's a fun thread...

It's just an image I found on the googles....can't find it available. Maybe we need to make a few.

Exactly! I got about 1/2 way thru it.....

Somewhere in the second half they end up remaking the 1HZ-T decal because there were no more available...

Started in on an HDJ81 project so started digging parts out of it.

There is the Exedy Safari Tuff part number.

In between playing with the Troopy....we put this brake pedal in....2 of the 3 pedals are now accounted for. Getting more legit by the pedal.

Looks like they were always meant to be there

Ha! They fit right in!

FINALLY finished this project. Really wish we didn't have to tear up the powder coating on the frame. Fortunately most of this stuff gets covered with parts and will most likely be covered by dirt.

 

[c2dfj45]

Finally something of significance....got started on this.

Dropped right in like it was meant to be.

 

[c2dfj45]

Trans tunnel opening is about 3.5" too far reward which is what we kind of figured(H151 vs R151 length)....so we will mod the floor. Might pull the cab off to start on that project here very shortly(going to undercoat while we have the cab pulled....

I wish I had room for a dead pedal. Hmm....

Wonder if a later model pedal would fit? Seems they are pretty interchangeable. And if not, they can be made to fit. The dead pedal is held on with 2 studs...easy to make a bracket. And it will fit with that kick panel I think.

I didn't even realize that there wasn't a dead pedal on my 73. Lol. Guess my foot is too busy shifting to rest it.

Yes, it seems like it would be a fairly easy mod. I'll have to think about whether the pedal spacing/positioning will be more/less favorable. I did have a RHD dead pedal on hand but I threw it out a few weeks ago.

Cruiserparts has the clutch pedal for $35. Hard to beat. Except for it being Cruiserparts. Ha. I will say, the last few things I have sourced from them haven't required 15 phone calls and emails to get the status on. And they have shipped the right stuff. They have the dead pedal too.
