hi guys, iv just recently bought a 1985 toyota hilux and am having a few problems with it, slowly fixing them, but i have no idea the code name for it, like, lnr105 or watever, and its a shit to find parts for atm. its a 1985 2L petrol motor, dual cab. and also does anyone know wat diesel motor would fit into it. maybe a 2.8 diesel?

Will be an ln 65 have a look for the chassis number inside the drivers side wheel well on the chassis. 2.8 will fit, pretty much bolt in and go.

hey LN65 is deisel i think it is an rn65 as mentioned above
also deisel engines run on different gear ratios to petrol would have to change diff centres gearbox and transfer. i investigated this a wile ago when i wanted to go from deisel to petrol. you are better off trying to find a lexus v8, or comoodore v6 and conversion kit.

hope this helps

If it's the 2 litre petrol, ie - 3Y then the chassis code will be YN65..

RN65 has the 22R donk which is a cross-flow 2.4 litre petrol

Hope this helps :D

If it was me I'd just get a diesel gearbox and keep the petrol diff ratios, which I believe are 4.88s correct me if I'm wrong, which would be perfect for running 33s or 35s

x2 they are fine even without going much bigger tyres. you just rev a little more.
