He's talking about a 2.8 hilux motor.

I'm 90% sure it'll bolt in without too many worries.

thanks for your reply

i am after a 100% sure it will fit

as he does not want to buy the 3L and then find out there is 2 much involved to make it fit

[ferrit]

3L and 5L share same mounts, and the 5L is a better motor

[tobie]

he has a 2.8l 3L hilux motor available at a fair price and wants to no if it fits,
not interested if a 5l is a better motor or not
just want to no if the 3l will bolt up where a 2l currently is

Yes it will bolt straight in. You "may" need to modify the glow system slightly to get that working though. I only say may as i have not done the conversion in a Bundera but in a Hilux there is 2 different glow systems. The early LN65 had a normal glow system and needs to be modified slightly but the late model had what Toyota refer to as the Super Glow System which also has a manifold pre heater in it fitted under the intake manifold and this style needs no modifications at all to fit the 2.8.

Keep in mind the 2.8 may have a different sump as these were never fitted to the Bundera. But the 2.4 sump will fit it.

You could even run the complete Turbo and Manifolds from the 2L on the 3L if you wanted. Then you will have even less mods to do. Just keep an eye on the temperature with the turbo fitted as the 2.8 cracks heads easy if overheated.

I'll tell you how simple it..

2L out, 3L in. Should be same bolt holes.

g'day ruff

thanks u answered all my questions
so the 3l will go straight in
put the 2lt manifold and turbo on, possible the sump and everything will be like normall

nothing else to reallt look out for??

thanks heaps for your help

[RUFF]

Yeah if you use the 2LT manifolds then you wont have any issues with the Glow system either.

[gotoy]

I almost put a 2.8 in my LJ70.

Found out some models have different engine mount holes, this is also the same with 5L.

Anyway, no hassle to make new mounts.
