    I would love to see the baby duramax 2.8 go into one of these land cruisers. Love the 80 series landy! The 2.8 duramax in my gmc van has been awesome so far. Almost 30mpg in a gmc savana 2500 is amazing. Great work on this project, really impressed.

    Nice swap. I am working on my second swap, into a Grand Wagoneer. The liquid-filled "tater truck" mounts absorb most of the vibs, (even at idle) I used them in my CJ-7 swap, passengers comment about the noise (mostly in a good way), but never the vibs. Waggy is getting a 47RH... long, but should be ready for the Cummins to bolt on and minimal wiring (lockup), is that the "Dodge" trans you used?

  • @charlesshankle3178
    @charlesshankle3178 ปีที่แล้ว

    This motor or a similar motor would be ideal to go into a turn of the century Mercedes G-Wagon. It would increase longevity of the vehicle and at least double the fuel mileage compared to the 5.0L V8 that comes stock.

  • @devil2jz500

    I want to do a VW TDI on my 80 series. The stock 3F-E 4.0 puts down only 155hp and 220 torque. A TDI with a tune/turbo/injectors can put 180hp and 330 torque to the WHEELS. Plus you can get 30+mpg…

    • @NineCylinderDiesel
      @NineCylinderDiesel 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not enough displacement for a 5k+ lbs vehicle. Those HP numbers mean nothing. You should really consider an OM606 if you want power and fuel economy.

  • @justliketolook
    @justliketolook 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    What is the cost difference between the 4 and 6 . If some one was to bring a 1997 lexus lx450 to you to install a 6bt how long would it take to do the job and how much would it cost .If your not worried about speed, do you need a turbo . I use my 97 to get my 3,000 lb ranger boat and trailer to the lake and to pick up and deliver work in the snow . I 'm keeping everything stock as far as wheels and suspension .What kind of mpg is possible for just road use with the 6.

  • @nathanhill2044
    @nathanhill2044 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    You can dump a bumpy tractor cummins in for cheep and pay out the ear over install and performance issues or dollar up and build a solid and smooth 1HD that will make make all the Toyota fans gather when you open the hood.

    • @Jonesys
      @Jonesys  6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Or put a cummins in it and have the cummins fans and the toyota fans smiling. You won't be smiling when you have to buy parts or have the 1HD repaired here in the States. Cheers!!!

      4bt is a better option here in the states. Toyota diesels are also very expensive and don't have the power potential.

    @vintagetintrader1062 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Standard 6 cylinder diesel available in most of the world is one of the best diesels ever built, tough and powerful. Have driven many 100000s kms behind them.
    The latest Landcruiser now has a v8 diesel. I love Cummins diesels especially the 4bt but not fitted to a later smooth running and driving 80, 100 series cruiser. (Want to do a early 67, 72 F100 with a 4bt)

    Awesome performance! It's too bad Toyota never offered a Cummins diesel for their Land Cruiser or the LX450. Between its ruggedness and its fuel economy, it seems a felony that they weren't available for use.
