Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey mate,

My initial thoughts were thrust bearing or something to do with the input shaft, bearing maybe?

This is what a Chrysler 318 looks like in a 60 engine bay! http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/6808/img0044ou.jpg http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/9082/img0043bd.jpg They made me a fully encapsulated style engine mount out of patrol radius arm bushes, which they guarantee me im never gonna break an ...

Went to have a look at progress on the cruiser yesterday, with motor and gearbox bolted together and lifted up, whole lot needed moving forward, so much so that the gearbox has maxed as far forward it can go in the shifter openings and yet the firewall still needed massaging. Gonna be done sometime ...

I found this really helpful, and some of you may also.

Thats unreal. So there are a few V8 60 projects on the go eh? I decided to do mine after seeing a mates 60 with a 302 Cleveland in it. Went great sounded mean, and had a sort of a whistle coming from one of the pulleys it sounded blown lol. I dont want no race car, mainly power to turn bigger tyres ...

Dunno, can you?

Im not particularly familiar with the in's n out's of mods like that passing.



Daniel

Thanks mate. Yeah go for it, post some pics up. Im interested in firewall clearence and from underneath how it all fits up. I got a FJ62 with the 5spd manual box. Talked to the mechanic and looks like its all getting moved forward, i wanna stay away from body lifts and the like as i want it fully ...

Ian, i am yet to pull the 6 out and have the V8 sitting on an engine stand so i havent got any pics as of yet.

KUSTOMV840, that sounds fairly easy and might be able to do that myself thanks heaps for your help.

Will let everyone know how i go.


Daniel

Thanks guys, nah i havent got any pics as i havent yet taken the old motor out. I guess im gonna try making room for it because apparently i only need to bash one side as one side sits a bit forward than the other. Im getting the engine mounts done at On Track 4x4, so if i can get myself out of ...

Sweet as mate very nice work. Forgive me if i missed it, but what did you do with your p/s lines and all your heater plumbing (and a/c lines if you have it).
Also how much work was involved in moving the gearbox forward 80mm?


Daniel

Hi all, I am embarking on a V8 conversion for my 60 series landcruiser, i purchased a conversion kit from Dellow, and after looking at the original and new bellhousing looks like one of the rocker covers of the V8 will foul on the firewall, ie, it will sit a touch too far back. For people who have ...

Anyone here sat in the back seat of the current shape Navara? It has to be the smallest rear seat of any dual cab ute on the market at the moment...I was shocked at how small it is. That being said, the drivers seat/position was the most comfortable out of all of them. still wouldnt get a navara ...

LOL. I'm a sparky who works with my old man and our 2 work cars are new V6 Hilux's. All our work cars in the past have been Toyotas and have no intention of changing. We have had a very very good run with them and dont have to touch them apart from general maintenance. When we were buying we first ...

Lets go for a FJ40 body, with the running gear from the new 70 series 4.5L turbo diesel V8 manual and shortened chassis with all its suspension and 200 series interior.

I havent got up to buying a clutch for mine yet, but a mate had a Exedy H/D clutch in his 2.8 D Hilux and loved it, didnt slip at all and was pretty cheap. I havent heard anything about their Safari clutches for 4wd's but would be interested to hear.

There was no mention that cost was to be taken into account, so i vote 200 series Landcruiser. Something like 680mm of wheel travel and that crawl control system and KDSS AND V8! I'd have one in a heartbeat!


Daniel

Yep, in my opinion all 60's should be wearing that bar. Gives it a nice shape at the front.

Spot on cranky thats the one!

Yeah its easy to have a bent crank, my Valiant had a bent crank. It was only 7-thou out but enough for it not to be straight. I doubt that would slow your car down every time you put your foot down.
As the others said i would be looking at basics first, fuel spark and timing.

Daniel

So it would be better to run a blow-through setup ( carby after blower )?

Thanks for the unput guys. I know it came off a torana 6. I will have to do some more talking to people to see if its gonna be right for the 3F but im thinking as well it should be ok, im gonna do this with some headwork and a cam, and an exhaust system. What ive also been thinking about is the ...

After much umm'ing and arr'ing, ive made up my mind on what im gonna do with the 3F petrol/gas. Its done a head gasket a week ago and only went in yesterday to get fixed, so when it comes back i will start work on installing a SC14 supercharger. http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/9825/08032010187 ...

I have no problem sending you to DiFilippo in Melton, they are an engineering joint / exhaust shop. Apart from making exhausts they have fabricated alloy fuel tanks, roll cages, etc so i think bending abit of pipe to your design is light work for them. Factory 2, 86 High Street, Melton, Victoria ...

autobarn is selling ones also for around the $700 with 12 months warranty but it doesnt cover it if it gets burned out.

If your planning to part out the 60's, would any of em happen to have power windows or the doorcard plastic pockets?


Daniel

How much travel do you want with 35's?

So do your 4 inch and extend your bumpstops.

Thanks heaps for that guys. My thinking is, if im gonna have to modify brackets and the rest of it to fit another motor, might as well go for something with abit more mumbo. I also have a mate running a 302 clevo with the original 60 series manual box and its holding up fine. So after seeing that ...

In your guys opinion, do i need to strengthen anything once i start putting more power through the driveline of the 60 via more powerful motor?
