LS Swap info. (1 Viewer)

I’ve been searching mud for an hour now and I haven’t found any info on LS swapping the 100 series. If any can point me in the right direction that would be great!

Thanks in advance.

Normally the goal of LS swapping is cheap and reliable-ish power. Since the 2UZ is extremely reliable and not a total slouch on power I think the desire to LS swap is just very, very low.

For the relative trouble, I'd just turbo or supercharge a 2UZ. Figuring out the mods to do that is probably less work than properly integrating an LS. And a turbo'd 2UZ would be sweeeeeeeeet.

What's your goal?

Ls swap on Land Cruiser 100?

Has anyone seen anyone with an LS (Ls2,ls3,ls1) swap Land Cruiser 100 or if it's even possible? I've searched everywhere and have only seen 80 series and before. I have a 99 LC with 4 speed auto, it's a great SUV but it's a turd. I know it's not a performance truck, but was just Curious if...

Plus nobody is doing much hardcore stuff with the 100 platform yet. More power to sit in traffic? Eh

Thanks for your response. I just want more power. Our motors in our truck just doesn’t have enough power. I honestly don’t want to turbo or supercharge our high compression motors as it’ll cause even more problems. I think buying and installing a supercharger will cost just as much as a swap (maybe I’m wrong). I honestly need more info.

Have you looked into the Doug Thorley headers and an unrestricted exhaust? @RobRed showed some serious gains on his TLCfaq site from just an exhaust if I recall correctly. If you can deal with the louder exhaust note, there's a significant power gain available for relatively little effort.

If you need even more, I would chase after a turbo or supercharged approach. "Good" engine swaps are a big ordeal unless somebody has already created a complete kit to do the swap. All the trouble to figure out mounting to frame, mounting to trans, AC compressor/lines, steering lines, exhaust, etc.... could just go towards mounting a turbo and the associated intake/exhaust plumbing. The 2UZ is an under-stressed and extremely reliable motor which had a factory supercharger add-on. It can handle a little forced induction. 5 psi would be a blast in a 2UZ.

Also worth noting the FI or engine swap route negates the largest draw towards the 100 - reliability. Not saying it's not worth chasing, but that's why you'll find such little info on it.

Might as well just go full monty and tackle the SAS while you're at it, too...

That's a tomorrow problem, not a today problem. Serial thinking FTW!

Marks 4wd in Australia has conversion kits for ls swaps.

Engine/Transmission project

Hello All, first post :) Not sure if I am posting in the right section. Here we go: I am doing a brand new E-ROD LS3 engine with a Magnum T-56 6-speed manual transmission swapped into a 2000 Land Cruiser US Spec. The car will be %100 for street use, I'll think of off-road build later. And...

I think the GM Erod would be a smog legal way to do it

9.6:1 is high compression?? News to me.
