Hey Cruiser Pilot yeah that's right, I found a link to some info on them if you want to have a read. Like i said i had it laying around from a product photoshoot ages ago so figured i might as well bolt it in.

Pyrotech, yeah the 12HT is more economical than a 1HZ because it's a direct injection motor whereas the 1HZ is an indirect injection motor. The good news is the 1HZ block is more or less the same as a 1HD-T/1HD-FT/1HD-FTE block. That means with a little tinkering you can bolt a 1HD-T injection pump and head onto a 1HZ for a DIY 1HD for a pretty bloody good price. Slap on a cheap turbo and you're looking at 1HD-T fuel and power figures for a similar price to a 12HT, or put an expensive turbo on it and you'll be looking at 1HD-FT figures. The 12HT isn't a bad motor by any means but for the money there's much much better options. I picked my setup up for $1500. That's a 1998 300k km 1HZ, late model H55f and split transfer case, cheapest 12HT I could find was $4k just for a motor, that's almost 30 years old.
