If i bought one of these as a wreck to restore i would chop the box to end just behind the rear shackle. It would look better and way better for wheeling.
could be some good deals here... or not rolled hjz77!

Think his engine would fit in my 60?
Yes it would but plan on spending 5X what you payed for your truck. 1HZ's aren't cheap.
Yeah...this.
I so wish this board still had the barfing emoticon.
Those things are the fat, sequin encrusted Elvis of all the over priced, over hyped jdm trucks that were ever imported.
If someone GAVE me a 1hz I'd probably run it, but it's far more likely I'd sell it for roughly it's weight in gold to one of the yanks who's lined up waiting for one like a randy sailor in front of a whorehouse after a 6 month cruise and put a 3b or a cummins in it's place.
Coincidentally, it's weight in gold is also what you'd have to spend on it to get it to out perform a turbo'd 3b worth 1/10 as much.
I was going to continue ranting about the diesel section on mud, but I'll leave off for now.
Perhaps tomorrow.![]()
Haaaaa, had a couple cocktails, gonna reply to your appraisal grass hopper...
Yep the 1hz does commend top dollar, it is a much nicer smoother and builds great torque.. Turbo it an its down right soooweet.. Ya, you gotta do a timing beld which is the least paintfull of any engine I have ever done including (especially) my tdi golf..
Apples and oranges, no comparison.
I would easily pay more for this engine over the 3B...
Ran a 1hz turbo intercooled to California in a fj45, it ripped with 33s and stock gearing, ran on the highways at 75MPH and hit the dunes at Pismo....Worked great all around..
Ran a big mountain climb following Sheldon and Greg from GS Cruisers in a 1hdt 80 series and ate them on the climb,, ya I know the trucks weight in a little different..![]()
so it rips....AFTER it's turbo'd eh?
I guess that's so that shiny valve cover doesn't get all sooty from the 3bt exhaust in front of it eh?
If I was going to spend 5+g's on an engine, I think I might choose one that didn't need another couple thousand in aftermarket help .
(although that valve adjustment silliness alone would probably put me off them forever)
I was actually referring to the 77's in general as much as to the engine tho.
Last evenings riposte was somewhat cocktail fueled as well, but I still agree with myself this morning. So that's good.![]()
Talking bone stock, the the 1hz rips over the 3B, does not need a turbo but its fun with one liky the 3B...
Would I spend the extra money on the 12ht yes, even more for a 1hz...yes, still even more for a 1h-t or FT oh hell yes.....
Its just money son..
Oh man you cannot even say h e l l on mud any more, whats this world coming to...
