ok - so I've seen a heap of YouTube videos showing awesome videos of landcruisers AFTER the engine swap but NOTHING about how to do it or things to consider.
I have a project that's been on hold for about 8 years. Time to sort that out.
So I'm thinking, with all this time that's past, there's no point rushing things. So, if I were to do this RIGHT, what should I consider for heaps of power that's streetble?
I won't be doing much off-road, this project is purely for shits and giggles.
I figure that a complete rebuild is pretty much the only way to go. So while doing that, what mods should I consider? Forward-facing intake with Eaton supercharger and intercooler? (Mild) cam (for streetability and no lumpy lunging while sitting at the lights)? All seals and rings? LINK ECU? Will I need a custom exhaust manifold?
And would all of that be any cheaper than just buying a crate 1VD-FTV engine?
Thoughts?
