Hi guys firstly what a sweet site i been searching through a whole bunch of posts relating to hiluxs, more precisely, a lexus V8 motor transplant and i think i have found the right web site
ive heard so many conflicting reports so i thought id make a post to find out just how well a V8lexus motor transplants into my model hilux, cost associated etc
my lux is a 99model extra cab MANUAL and as for engine, exhaust mods etc its a stock 2.7L motor. so simply
what is involved in this project like what needs to be fabricated, replaced,chopped etc stuff like do engine mounts line up or not? fuel pump obviously needs modifying etc etc?
which V8 is most suited towards this project?1UZFE? if not then what?
what costs are involved?
im assuming a front cut is the way to go yeah? what extra stuffs need to be bought if i buy a front cut??
this might be waaay too many questions but even if sumone can answer a few of them that would be fantastic cos im a chippy not really a mechanic and my mates who are havent had anything to do with V8 lexus motors etc etc although my mate is putting a 20valve in his old school corrolla atm so i do i have knowledgeable help to do the install without it ending up a backyard bodge job... i noticed sideshow has advertised on his site his prices for hooking up electrics so dude if this project isnt gonna end up costing me 10K or sumthing and i do go ahead with it, id say ill be giving u a call!!!!
i found sum tech articles 1 esp on an earlier hilux than mine does anyone know if it would be a similar conv? similar probs etc?
anywayz enuff from me thanks heaps guys..
