Heya mate. The 4.5's are a bullet proof and reliable motor. Although In saying this the gas does tend to give the valves a hard time. Some/most of the 4.5's were known for needing the valve stem seals replaced at 150 - 200 000kms or maybe sooner if just used as an "around town" car. Meaning spent ...

Killa lux, what would i be looking at for the 1HD-FTE conversion???

It appears its going to be a bit harder then i first thought. Im unsure as to which auto box it has, whether it was the old type or the later semi electronic job.

Welcome to owning an 80. all the 80 series cruiser we've had over the years had piss poor power steering. On the bitumen with my 305x70x16 muddies the power steering sort of binds up, but then again i suppose good driving practice is to keep it rolling slightly. What size tyres is it running?
