What engine does my Land Cruiser have? (9 Viewers)

[kacper9108]

Hello, recently my dad has purchased himself a 1982 bj40 Land Cruiser. But we are unsure what engine it has. The information plate says the B engine, but to us the engine looks more like a 3B engine and the seller mentioned it was a 3B. I have attached images so if anyone could help me out that would be great.

I'd look at the block # first. I'm sure there is a list that covers that. Maybe look and post in the diesel forum

Thread '2H vs. 3B engines'

Jan 25, 2018

I’m not a diesel guy so I’m going to post this question for those who are. Assuming both engines are rebuilt, given a choice between a BJ45 Troopy with a 3B and an HJ47 Troopy with a 2H which would you prefer and why?

The 2H is a 4.0 L (3,980 cc) inline 6, 12 valve OHV indirect injection diesel engine. Bore is 91 mm and stroke is 102 mm, with a compression ratio of 20.7:1. Output is 105 PS (77 kW) at 3,500 rpm - later production years 107 hp (80 kW) with 177 lb·ft...

That is a 3B. Earlier ones have a steel valve cover, later they moved to a cast aluminum cover.

Edit: the non-stock intake makes me wonder if it's a 3B out of a commercial truck or forklift. Hard to say.

It's a late 3B engine. August 1988 and later production.

I concur with what is above mentioned.
3B late version (with rotary pump) equipped early 70-Series (i.e. BJ70 and BJ73).
If I recall well @Roma from AZ, USA did such a swap (see pics)...
