"Grinder and paint hides the welder I ain't." Looks good, I am planning on swapping an r2.8 into a first gen gmc canyon, hope it fits as good as yours does.
This. Is. Awesome. I’ve wanted to see someone use the repower motor. Excited to see what you think. Doing a 2.0 tdi in a ranger because of cost but if things go well with this swap I will probably be doing another one. Gotta sell the ole 7.3 to make room for some 4x4 low maintenance cheap to operate diesel swaps.
Do yourself a favor and install some LED shop lights in your garage. It only takes about 20 minutes and you won’t have to hold a flashlight anymore lol
Will you do an install for me on a 94 Toyota 4runer, its 2nd gen, has a 3l v6 in it. And what about a transmission, is it an adapter plate what needs to be done or changed, and fuel system
What is the most compact/strong /trans/transfer case combos one could use for these first gen Toyota’s R2.8’ swaps? Is the NV4500 with a FJ60 Splitcase to big for these trucks? Thanks! Awesome job so far! Anything you would have done differently?
I’m wondering if you could have snagged a Hilux TDI from Asia or some place where they’re available in left hand drive, shipped it here, and accomplished a similar end for less money. I’m not criticizing your dedication to the project, the effort put in, or anything like that. I’m just wondering if that is even possible, and if so, might it be less costly. Curious.
Nice simple design. Is that a 110v welder ? Not a fan at all for this type of stuff. Dont care what brand it is. Grind your millscale all the way off for better penetration esp with a 110v machine.
Where are we at with this? After seeing this, I've decided to not do this conversion on my '84 and move forward with my '83 Hilux Longbed instead and am curious about what parts you are using i.e. intercooler, fans, etc. Any updates? I'm in Laramie BTW.
@@RustyJunkExhibition Hey, finally got a few minutes and binge watched your progress on the Toyota. I still grin about you picking out parts we have used here at the mothership. Everything is looking good. It's great to see that in between NY and L.A.,, there's plenty of what made this country happen in the good years.
The Don! If you're talking my welds, yes. If your talking the Mopar mounts, yes. The Mopar mounts are used in 4BT applications and were designed for engines with similar weight, and power level to the R2.8
Rusty Junk Exhibition yep I was talking about your welder ones. I’m planning on swapping a 4bt into a 80 series and I’m wondering what the strongest engine mount design will be
@@johnc6466 I fabricated the same type mounts for my 4BT Ford and they worked out great. 10 years later and not one issue. For the rubber mount you will need something stronger than what I used here for the 4BT. Look into poly versions or the 12 Valve mounts
Rusty Junk Exhibition I’m excited to see the videos that follow. I had to search real hard to find this series since not a lot of people do this swap, let alone post it on TH-cam. Going great so far 👍🏽

Did you guy's get sidetracked , heck your almost there 👍👍🇺🇸

Haha! Thanks man. I am willing to bet you will have a bit more real estate to work with. These Toyotas are small.
We want a video update of the 2.8!!! Gib naow!!!

I want to do this to my Tacoma. All I need is $10K and some talent!
1kzte is pretty much bolt in from what I head except shortening the fuel tank wiring harness I'm told. So long as you have a 1st gen tacoma.
That’s so badass. I want an R2.8 in the worst way for my Chevy....nice economical reliable cruiser.
Can't wait to see the finished product
Good deal and greetings from over here in Montana!

Hey have you finished it yet?
How much moneys you think it cost when it's all done and finished

Be curious to see if your long term review will be similar to others
Who are you referring to? Be interesting to see others
@@patrickwayne3701 Google it. Lots of reviews based on the motors use the last 10 years world wide, and only a few with the new electronics package.

That welding sounds good! What welder are you using?
Any updates on this beast?!
Coming soon
What did you do for leafs in front to hold the weight?
Whatever became of this project?

Curious what happened to the Toyota build ?

I will have an update soon. Sorry for the wait. I will show what parts are being used too!

sick!
update ?
What gear box are you running
Hi Password do you pay for the motor
What about the wiring? Are the r2.8 an electronic engine?
Yes. It is a common rail computer controlled engine.
You think those engine mounts will be strong enough.

Rusty Junk Exhibition you mean the bushings between the engine and the chassis mounts?
@@johnc6466 Yes, unless you keep the 4BT at stock power levels
What happened to this build?
Awesome job, next time treat yourself to a beer...not that sparkling water stuff.
HA!
intro's kinda long man....
Thanks for the feedback! I'm new at the video editing.
