Re: 1VD FTE vs LS1/2/3 which would you choose?
the only 1vd you will get to work is from a ute = Grimace
my vote is if you want a deisel put a 1hdfte in it or a duramax
otherwise gen3 or gen 4

Moonshine, i think you need to sit back and rethink this. You are trying to reinvent the wheel for no real gain at all. First up turbod 1hz or 1hd Fte will make the same usable level of power more efficiently than either the chev or the cummins. second the toyota motors are bolt in conversions ...

Re: Mechanical Injection Pump to suit 1HD-FTE
why?
If you want a mechanical pump buy a 1hd-ft its a very similar motor
otherwise just wire it up and get all the benefit of the fte

Re: 1hdfte/105 conversion vs sas 100 hdfte
The arch in the chassis rail is much less in the 100 and the chassis is wider, i doubt you would have enough room to fit coils in the front like a 105, it could be done but you would run into packaging problems Coil overs might work tho. On the other hand a fte is a bolt in swap depending on what ...
