These came out of a 2013 200 series Land Cruiser with only 11,000 miles. I've felt this monster throw around 5 tons (Not including weight of the 200 itself) like it was nothing. Very Powerful! I wish I had the cash to do the swap, but very sadly I don't. That is why it is here, for one of you IH8MUD enthusiasts and NOT on ebay.

Sorry, I don't know why it posted all pics 3 times

And I don't know why you created another thread.

And I don't know why you created another thread.

Probably to show how unique and rare it really is,this one came out of a 200 series that only used 10l / 100km !

I have 3 friends in Belgium that had 200 series for a while and they all claimed the mileage between 15-18l per 100 km

And I don't know why you created another thread.

I made the last thread in a hurry and it wasn't really well thought out. I also wanted to add the Specs.
"- Prices: POSTING PRICES is a courtesy, PLEASE include. NO biding or best offers, this is not EBay. NO prices in Title." Since I cannot add in "Or Best Offer" I now wanted to add in the trade factor. Obviously not everyone has 20k lying around for an engine and transmission, however some might have a motorcycle or 2 they don't really have the time to ride because they've invested in other interests (a project 4x4 Toyota for example)
Worst/Best case scenario, it doesn't sell, I get to keep it and maybe one day am able to start my own project. Wether it sells or doesn't, it's a win-win.

Also I currently have yet to search for how to delete the older thread which I will do now.

 

[1vdFTVforSALE]

I found this:
"for sale threads are not deleted...simply post 'sold' and leave it...all threads are left up for history/research purposes."

So I apologize for the double thread.

How can anybody here in the US get that running? It's a commonrail and undoubtedly its computer requires a whole array of sensors unique to the original vehicle...am I wrong? I would love to find out if that's not the case...

 

[bugsnbikes]

this should bring $20k easily given :

- great cardboard packaging.
- wiring looms appear to be untampered with and peeled open to easily double check all are still there...
- looks to be dried out from sitting at bottom of ocean container which has been successfully retrieved.
- tranny packed with some nice spare reels of wire as backup for engine loom needs.bonus.
- all evidence of other illegal smuggled items around this toyota pair have been completely removed leaving just these clean and legal items.

 

[dirtyboots]

yep that's a nice bunch of wire spools

 

[absalom]

Jeez, as someone actually looking for one of these motors, I've never been less interested in spending 20k. OP knows front cuts go for about 13k in Japan, right?

I am not sure of how to do the swap correctly, this is a classified ad not a how to tech. I am sure there is someone savvy enough that frequents IH8MUD that could more appropriately answer your question. As I do not have the know how or the funding for it at the current time, I have posted it for sale. My 2 options at the given time of the pull were between this and an 88 Hilux, I chose this.

The pictures were only to prove that I do in fact have both the engine and Transmission, nothing more. If the items were purchased, they would be crated appropriately. If they are not, then there is no sense in crating them for shipping just to sit in my garage until I am able to do something with them myself.

By all means feel free to post the link that has the 1HD-FTV for sale in Japan for $13k, also please do include the cost of shipping to the lower 48 from Japan. If you feel that my price is unjust then move along and purchase from that said link.

.... OP knows front cuts go for about 13k in Japan, right?

That I'll be interested in as well.

GLWS just trying to drop a hint here. It's an unfortunate time we live in. The internet = shady business.

Solution= more background on you, the item, how acquired, got it to the US, etc would help

Of course forum rules don't require that

Forum rules also don't limit comments in response to your thread, either

My reply was not intended to be anything more than a calculated response. It is clear that you are not the only one who had noticed and honestly I had not given it a second though upon taking the pictures. I was merely posting about why the spools of wire were there (which I happened to acquire a bunch at the same time) I do appreciate the feed back and suggestion.

Me: I am prior Navy in VA. My prior station was down in Gulfport, MS where I purchased the item from another service member who shipped the item to me from overseas. I had the full intention of getting a salvage truck (possibly a Tundra) but due to the transition and other priorities taking place am unable to. I'd rather pass the opportunity along to someone else than letting it rust away. I can't say much about where they acquired it from, however while being deployed to Afghanistan this past year I was fortunate enough to drive an Up-Armored 200 with one of these engines in it. The armor plating alone weighs in over 5 tons and it handled and accelerated better than I would have ever thought. Would have never known how much the damned thing weighed if I didn't ask. Upon looking for this engine (single turbo at that) I was unable to locate ANY for sale, Australia, Japan, India, Germany. Maybe I wasn't looking in the right places? That's why I would love for "Absolom" to post his source. Either way, when searching on this forum, I found that most people priced the single turbo by itself at $15k. I deduced the fact that mine is a TWIN turbo and I have the transmission that was built for this engine, both having the same 11k miles (or km not sure, so I went with miles since its more) and decided to price it at $20k. If anyone can find sources that show it being cheaper else where in the world (shipping to the lower 48 and Customs fees included) I will reformulate the price.

I hope this helps.

Let's hear it turn over...No offense, but this is a flood engine. Or tsunami car engine.

 

[1vdFTVforSALE]

Let's hear it turn over...No offense, but this is a flood engine. Or tsunami car engine.

Here is what the engine sounds like when it is turned over and revved:
My engine was from the desert area where it was not a flood. Even if it WAS it wouldn't change the fact that the engine and transmission has to be drained and purged and CLEANED before being able to ship over seas (There are hazmat declaration forms to fill out, EVERY error, whether something not being cleaned properly or something on the form is a fine of up to $10,000 U.S. when coming through customs) Even more still, an engine and transmission are not the issues with flood vehicles as they can be drained, cleaned out, and run. The reason insurance companies total out flood vehicles is more on the labor cost of EVERYTHING having to be drained, cleaned, and inspected (Engine, drive train, brake systems, interior, exhaust system, literally everything, here is a better list Google Answers: restoring a drowned car ) The Electrical system takes the most damage: sensors, wires, boards, cpus, ect. Would you not buy and engine and transmission from a roll over? It's only totaled because of the labor & cost of repairing the body. No offense, but please keep your STATED opinions and facts elsewhere.

However, if a SERIOUS buyer would like to have it inspected for any type of internal damage before purchasing I would not object. You would have a home inspected before purchase correct? Just like with a home inspector, the cost of the inspection falls on the buyer, not the seller.

To the OP, a little constructive criticism meant to help you out a bit ....

The facts are, based upon your MUD profile, that you joined here less than a month ago and all of your posts have been about selling an engine that has not been emissions certified in the US and is too new for 99.99999% of folks to successfully and legally import to the US. It is an engine that many would lust after ....

The MUD community is very cynical when it comes to these things and you are seeing that in responses here. And for a reason. If that engine were put into a truck here in the US and it was later deemed by the authorities to not be here legitImately, the likelihood is that the entire vehicle would be confiscated and scrapped (a la the Rover debacle).

My advice is simply this - be as open and transparent as you can about the history of the engine and the importation of it .... Maybe even consider posting copies of the importation paperwork (with personally identifiable info redacted). You have a specialty item that folks are gong to be extraordinarily skeptical of, rightly or wrongly, and the best way to get past that is extreme transparency - IMO.

BTW, I am not in the market for this engine since my 200 series is long sold ... GLWS.

Excellent advice ^^^^^^

I appreciate your feedback and I do understand the skepticism. I have been following this Forum for over a year now with the hopes of doing the swap but never needed to actually post or respond to anything until now therefor did not become a member until now. I had been dead-set on planning up until this thread to do the swap but due to recent circumstances I am having to sell it. As for this reason I did not keep any of the customs paperwork. I have not heard of the "A la the Rover debacle"? The truth is, I had not thought of the issues someone may have with their authorities in their state. I do know that in states without inspection stickers (like FL) none would ever be the wiser. And the states like MS where all they check are your lights and horn, basics, would be pretty safe there too. In all honesty that's a chance that the buyer would have to be willing to take. I'm at the point now that if it doesn't sell than maybe one day I will still be able to do the swap. However, until that time if someone wants to sincerely know anything legitimate with a serious offer I will be able to answer to the best of my ability as I do not know 100% of everything with this engine. It's just a little frustrating when someone blatantly posts that it's from a flooded vehicle or that the same engine can be obtained with $13k with no facts to support their statement.

Again, I do appreciate your sincere feedback.

I'm open to PMs as well for anyone that may be interested.

Good luck with the sale.

For an overview of the Rover debacle see Illegally imported Defender 110 seized, crushed by CBP at Baltimore Port

The biggest issue you will find in selling the engine is the Federal guidelines make it almost impossible to import a non-EPA certified engine unless it is 15 or 20 years old - I honestly forget which it is ... I know that some have gotten them into the country - including you - but quite a few folks will be sceptical.

Again, a sincere best wishes with the sale. It would be really cool to see that engine under an LC bonnet in the US.

End of hijack ....
