- If you haven't seen the series of videos which step by step explains the entire swap process of putting the 5.3L GM V8 and 6L80e into my 1997 Lexus LX450, Click Here! • LS Swapping My Land Cr...
The time is finally here! After over 3 years, I am finally able to drive and enjoy the fruits of my labor. To call it done is a bit of an overstep, but I can drive it! In this video I talk about the pains of this swap, and the driving characteristics. Towards there end there are a few acceleration clips.
I really, really, really hope those that have just found this video and those that have been following from the beginning enjoyed this series of videos. My entire goal with filming this process is to take a lot of the R&D, guesswork, and homework out of taking on a project similar to this. I'll be building a website with all wiring diagrams, part numbers, part sources, do's and don'ts, and every little detail as I feel there needs to be an all inclusive location to find this information, and for free of course.
I'm no expert, but if you're swapping your 80 series and run into a snag feel free to email me at Mazdamiester@gmail.com with what you are stuck on. I'll do my best to help!
Don't forget to subscribe for more 80 series content! Lots of off-road videos to come!!

Dude! Nice!!! I remember watching your first video back when you posted it! I totally get the lull/frustration in the middle when the end seems so far away....I am SO THANKFUL for these videos! I've got a '91 that I've had as my DD for the last 6 years and if you think the 1FZ is bad...the 3-FE is laughable and I'm ready for an LS variant. Really eyeing the LQ4 and cant decide between a 4L or 6L transmission. Let us know when you get that domain up! Thanks again for the MASSIVE insight into this swap- enjoy it!!!
The one-stop-shop for the swap would be great! Willing to pay for it. Subscribing to follow this.
Awesome videos! I’m also in Missouri and own a 92 Land Cruiser. I’m considering a 6bt swap for the fuel mileage and power! Love the ls swap!
Do a 2Jz swap. At least I'd still be a straight 6 👍
@@Dis-Emboweled yeah, that's exactly what a 6bt is... , a inline 6 diésel engine...
@@Dis-Emboweled just turbo the 1fz, it’s basically a bigger 2j
Thanks for sharing loved every episode, will look out for web domain, Have a 105 series with a donkey 1hz, hoping to do a l83 with 6l80 swap as soon as covid stops killing my income. I know it is a super reliable 4.2 diesel especially in South Africa but so thirsty and no power especially for towing, even though my truck has only done 80 000 km it just doesn't drive like it could. You have inspired!
Love the Superman shirt. You see a guy standing on the corner in Baltimore wearing one of those...dopeman dopeman lol. Awesome truck!
Love the smile on your face on accelaration
Congrats man! I'm glad you got to enjoy the fruits of your labor and shared it with us. Now that it's been a few months and the snow has FINALLY melted, how's the mileage? The engine sounds great. Great work sir.
Did a LS3 swap with a H55F 5speed manual on my FJ62. It’s a beast.
Good for you man, awesome!
Nice project. I just finished binging it 1-12.
I just binge watched this whole series. I’m really wanting to do this swap but I don’t know if I have the patience. Great videos. Thanks for taking the time to film it
I’m thinking about it too, I have a 95
Just watched the 12 episodes. As I am about to do this swap.
If you have a spreadsheet planner. That would be killer. I feel like I want to start ordering parts to get it done in the fall.
Sounds great.
But it would sound even better without a rev limiter at wide open throttle do you think you could make a video of that I’m sure plenty of us would enjoy it.
Nice, finally done... but needs more chop.
Sounds awesome exhaust leak pfft more like an awesome leak from the exhaust
Hi, did you ever put your own domain to sell the wiring schematics and all your wisdom? I’m seriously looking to do the same swap but need all the help I can get, thanks for your series
Well done,
I don’t know many people driving a Land Cruiser for plowing snow!
Did you end up with website with the parts list and wiring diagram? If so, you should accept donations!
How do you think the performance of your LS compares to the Toyota/Lexus 5.7 (383 horsepower and a stout 403 lb-ft of torque)? You're right, these vehicles are heavy.
Could you install an engine from a 4Runner, Tacoma or a Tundra?
How is the web domain coming? Would love to see another update.
my motor i bought from you 6 years ago is still not finished in the bmw either so... lol
update?
Great work, sounds good, and looks powerful and fast. I just sent you an email as well.
Very helpful, how can I contact you bout parts for 80 cruiser.
What motor mounts did you use?
What are the real mpgs on this?
Where did you get that airbox I see in the background?
The airbox in the truck?
@@I_Do_Cars Yeah the airbox on the passenger side. I watched your other video and heard you explain that it came from a GM truck.
Yep. That’s an airbox from a 2009-2013 truck.
Put a Cummins in it and it will rip
WHERE ARE THE UPDATE VIDEOS ON THIS BUILD AND HOW ITS BEEN???
Sweet
Great series on the LS swap, just binge watched the lot (laid up after double hernia operation). I have a 93 80 series (RH drive in Aust) with a 6.5 Chev diesel n/a, it's been in the 80 over 10 years. Currently removing it to fit a 6.5 turbo ( garret not GM) on a rebuilt motor, can't wait to get back to work on it. Recently discovered your channel and enjoying your vids while I'm laid up,.
Great job! Way to see the project through to the end!
The web domain for a 80 swap is a great idea.
My six-year-old: "Is this the guy who put the car into space?" "No, this is Mr. Eric, not Elon Musk."
& cooler, more fun, more humble.
No comparison really.
@@richardj163 Totally. Someday I hope to meet him.
Son and I just did a body off, frame restoration with upgrade to a 5.3 with mild roller cam coupled to a 4L60e. This does require a tail shaft modification and an Eric's Adapter. We previously made a custom Mercedes W114 hotrod with a 05 Corvette LS 2 and 15 Camaro TR 6060 6 speed. I think the Cruiser will give it a run!
Say, Who are you? Where are you? How do people contact you about parts? This would be great info to have in your TH-cam bio!! We'd like to purchase another tcase for the FJ 60, do you have any???
Glad you're on the road. Congrats!
Nice job. Your the man. So tired of my 1fz
Hey Eric. Is there a "getting muddy" video coming? I saw the "gonna yank this bush while all locked up, 4 wheel peel style" clip, but spring thaw is coming. So, got mud?
From a fellow Land Cruiser owner (I have a 30th Anniversary 70 Series) congrats on the swap!
How does anybody get in touch with this fella? He comments about contacting him for parts etc but how? Can't seem to find any info anywhere.
Comment for the algorithm 👍good job dude
Hey, congratulations on the completion of the land cruiser. I was wondering if you had some fuel numbers after driving it for a while now.
Congratulations! Huge accomplishment. You’re a better man than I. I’m abandoning my a LS swap into a ‘95, or at least putting it on the shelf for now.
How do I reach you? Why no contact info? Wondering if you have a transfer case for a FJ 60 cruiser?
How do people know how to get in touch with you if they want to buy engine parts?
The best Chevy engine in the best made Toyota body and chassis! The perfect marriage!
When you did that conversion their Eric now what did you what oil pan did you use and how did you mount the motor to the frame .
93 and 91 is more in price but better btu's and better gas milage 87 is dog shit and should be illegal
Kudos Eric! To take on a project of this magnitude and get the fantastic results you achieved is satisfying and impressive to me! I can only imagine how proud and satisfied you must be.
Congratulations 🎉
I love the fact that I recognize the background of where your driving!
Awesome man, i just picked up a 92 lc any update on the build list harness etc keep it up. Love watching your show.
I have to say great videos. Please keep us all updated on your new wed domain for the swap..
It didn’t seem that long to me, thank you for your videos great job, you are very skilled.
Well aren't you just special.
Nice job!
wow shes quick
Some TSP cam and head work and tbss intake would make it move and save gas
Already have the intake. It’s fast enough. I’m really happy with how it is.
Is it a Toyota or lexus, you say one thing badge says another.
Lexus IS a Toyota sub-brand. Mostly the same parts (besides the badges).
Just like a Cadillac IS a GM car!
Why are you watching these videos if you know absolutely nothing about 80 series...? LX450 = Landcruiser.
Hell yeah get it done
