Looking for a 1FZ Long Block? New/Rebuilt

[MAINEFJ40]

I have been searching this site for a couple of hours this morning and not really coming up with much. I am hoping for some help finding a long block for my LX450. It seems strange to me that no one makes a "performance" engine for our trucks similar to what LC does for the minitruck market. Any leads would be great. The only reasonable thing I have found so far is a short block from Cdan and just building up with the rest of my components.

You can try Cruiserdan or Beno...MUD Vendor for factory stuff.. big bucks though

Thanks, I spoke to Dan and got a quote for a short block, I am kind of hoping for a long block though as my head and components have 191000 miles on it.

I may me in a similar boat. I found some guys in Houston who will rebuild and give you a 6mo warranty for 2300 incl shipping from San Antonio. Abt 2 week turnaround time. Japanese JDM Engines/ Engine in Los Angeles, California, Louisiana, Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas, Houston,San Francisco, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Washington, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idahao, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Ma
I also found these guys in Austin who only work on cruisers. They also offer a rebuild for a similar price.

Not a huge deal to get the head redone if you go the short block option. Bolting the head on with it sitting on a stand is pretty straight forward.

Yah if I decide to go the shortblock route I will definitely go through the head. I most likely will go with the low mileage short block and with the savings I will get new exhaust to install at the same time.

I saw that one, it looks like a good candidate but if I bought it I would want to rebuild it before I put it in i think.

How soon were you looking for this engine? I just so happen to have a complete long block still in my parent's garage that I need to get out of there. It has a blown headgasket, but my business partner owns a very reputable engine shop, and I've been looking for an excuse to rebuild it. I could give you a very fair price.

The engine shop builds everything, just one of them: Curt Brown 2010 Buschur Sport Compact Shootout - YouTube

one more: Curt Brown's 781whp Talon - YouTube

Let me know if you're interested.

95toy. I PM'd you.

 

[MAINEFJ40]

So I think I might just rebuild my original engine, I am searching for the required parts to do a proper rebuild, I am sure there are lots of posts on here but if anyone has some insight please feel free to speak up. Thanks,

What's broken on your current engine that you need to repair?

 

[MAINEFJ40]

Haven't taken the pan off yet, but quite positive I spun a rod bearing and seized a connecting rod.

 

[Impreza]

Wow dang. Didn't u just buy that truck.

I have a 1997 LX450 complete engine/transmission if interested. it's got 215k but was purrin like a kitten. I pulled it to put in a super chatrged engine. I live in RI but engine would need to be sent from CA.

At that price for a reman, I'd just rebuild the motor myself.

 

[86tuning]

spun bearings? yuck. I'd consider a used engine before overhauling that.

 

[MAINEFJ40]

at least with my engine I know what I have, I think I prefer to bore, turn crank, new bearings, rods, gaskets etc.. then go through the head and put it back together with a fresh head gasket. This way I can do it on my own time and hopefully do it ONCE. A used engine is the cheapest easiest solution but might do it twice and I dont want to do that. We have a good machine shop locally that can do the work so I think I am better off.
