Re: 1HDFTE Landcrusier Convert manual to auto

Since its a manual and the 100 does not come with a TD manual option. It sure did come with a manual option on the HDJ100. But they seem to have a lesser value than the 5sp auto. AFAIK the utes didnt have an auto option with either 1HZ or 1HD-FTE. also my mistake though-I had assumed crikey was tal...

Re: 1HDFTE Landcrusier Convert manual to auto

I wouldn't rule out the idea of selling it. They are rare and you could charge 10 grand more for it, and people will come from the otherside of the country to buy it. Then you could by an auto TD with alot less KMs, or a similar one and load up on all the fun bits. Think you'll find its the other w...

I would imagine that in order to eliminate all the emission gear, you would have to eliminate all petrol equipment?
isnt the LS1 designated 5.7 rather than 350? I know they are the equivalent displacement, but that is why I would assume that you were referring to the old motor.

just tap into the two heater hoses, but make sure it is on the engine side of the heater "off" valve, otherwise you will get no flow when the heater is off.
