If your keeping your hilux on the road id be def coiling the arse end, you can get your coil rear end mod plated and engineered. Ive had mine with 3 link in the back using all gq coilhats and mounts etc, custom lower arms and an A - frame, for about 4 years now and have never had any dramas on road ...

Depends what hose size you are using, youll need efi fuel hose

Ok, about the serpintine belts.
Someone just told me that the serpintine belts came out on the V6s, and the 5lt V8s had veepulleys.

The same person has quoted me $350 for all of the following...
- all engine wiring and computer
- ignition module,
- alternator
- pwr steering pump
- and all vee ...

You will definatley struggle to fit an engine fan, my 304 is nearly touching the firewall and i struggled for clearance between pulley and radiator, before moving the radiator to the tray.

Is this a Gen 1 problem only, I easily fitted an engine fan with 20mm clearence to the radiator in a Gen 2 ...

also you will struggle to run a belt driven fan as the front of the w/pump will only just clear the radiator let alone with a fan bolted to the front of it. Run a 16" davies craig thermo fan with an electric thermo fan controller on the back of that 75 series radiator

..... You ...

Still cant believe that truck got parted boof! Looked good in those pics

Dunno what 75 cvs are like compared to anything else, but maybe they might get a bit of a tickle with some hp through em off road, and yeah may need to go to single piece rear shaft

Yeah gas research are the crem, $$$$$ though. Had gas on my old 308, it was a pig in every respect, gas research will be massive improvement.

But for the $$$, go fuel injection! Pic up 304 pretty cheap, more power, reliable, and not bad on fuel considering its a dirty 5.0 litre. Best thing ive done ...

similar Q:

how do hilux transfer cases handle v8 and automatic setups?

will a hilux transfer put up with the same abuse as a patrol or landcruiser item?

Have run my T700 and gear driven case with 4.7s behing my 304 for about 18 months-2years now, no dramas at all. And yes it cops MUCH abuse ...

mate reality check ya got a hilux hahaha. no flex haha, yeh i thought the same too ay but mine gets driven hard offroad :lol: , n i havnt smashed one set yet...


Im not sure if your joking about hiluxes having no flex, because when i installed my 3" EFS lift i had HUGE flex, and thats only ...

Locktup do a 4.7 ratio kit,housing will require small amount of grinding.Price is very resonable.

Very well priced, i bought the 4.7s from Locktup and had the transfer rebuilt ...

If your from Queensland, Dale did the 3 link rear in my lux. Very good set up.

Depends on your budget, mine are standard lux diffs that have been shaved of all the leaf spring brackets etc.. with all the brackets for the nissan links and custom a-frame mounted on it. works well something different and its all mod plated.

Hence when you do this no donor is necessarily any ...

i have a mega shifter and i hate it. the B&M STREET BANDIT shifter looks allright

Thats the one i use, its apparently part of the "pro ratchet" series, cool shifter but the numbers are a lame sticker so you could stick it on the drivers side if thats what you were worried about not being able to ...

In defence of ("The owners of the park"). I wasn`t there for Australia day but I know for a fact that Alben and his crew spend most of thair days dealing with twits who have no respect for others, themselves or property. They can arrive disguised as humans and have 2 beers( that they prompty throw ...

I have a Holden 304 in my Ln65, use a B&M pro ratchet, works a treat no hassles with legalities.

If your sticking with leaves IFS rears are the way to go, they seem to work pretty well, but you will get done by DOT for them, if your adding droppies then they well flex even more and work really well, be aware droppies are illegal on road also so i spose it depends what you mind putting on your ...

My 304 has zero heating issues running a standard hilux sized alloy rad and twin 8 inch thermos on the front side(lack of engine bay room), would probably work equally as good on the v6

Thanks luxyboy, where abouts on southside? Do a fair bit of work that way might stop in and check it out, thanks for your input guys!

Cheers thanks for that found what i was looking for

Any one heard of this done or done it themselves?

I have an 86 hilux running a 304 injected v8 with a T700 auto behind it, 4.7 reduced transfer case and 4.11 in the diffs, the standard hilux booster and master cylinder set up is ok for road but with the increased torque in low range i cant stop the ...

I run 2' spacers on the rear of my 86 lux for play, take them off for daily driving. Never had an issue, in saying that dont know that id be confident putting them on the front

Cheers

If your considering the v6 id go a step further and look at the 304 5.0L. Same fuel economy from what i can tell, and the 304 will make a lot more low down torque.
Ive just gone from 308 on gas to 304 injected in my 86 single cab and so far i am getting 16 litres/100km, stays cool all the time even ...
