i have just bought a cheep lux.. in poor cond to part out..
(i want the diffs and tailshafts for my zook)
it has a apparent 2.6l craceda motor or 5m apparently..
its defendantly a big toyota 6 cilinder..
its bolted up to a 4spd hilux box...
seems to run ok.. has a slight tap up to, only valve clearance or something...
and it go's hard for a lux...
question is, whats it worth?
and what do you guys actually think it is?
i will be selling it with box and transfer...

Cressida engine, would be a 2.8, not 2.6. Common hilux conversion. Not a bad donk if you know the head gasket history as they are very prone to gasket failure. No idea what it would be worth though. Ring a wrecker for a price and go from there.

the bell will be a supra one, it has thesame gearbox bolt pattern as the lux
does the motor have twin cams or a single tappet cover....it could be a 4m (2.6) or a 5m (2.8) or a 5mge (2.8 twincam) or a 7mge(3.0 twincam) the 5m has a single tappet cover and was the last of the super fuel motors, so they have some go....not worth much thou...unless you want your lux to go well cheap :)
