Glad to hear it's all lookin good Big. Here's a before and after pic of my firewall. Of all the forums I have my buildup on, I have never posted these pics before. P.S. Yes my box is tilted aswell.

Yes he could rotate the gearbox to verticle, BUT why should he have to when he has just spent $2K+ on a kit that "SHOULD" bolt straight up?

Just read your post on the previous page about the tilt on the gearbox problem. Thommo, another member on here had exactly the same problem with the CRS kit with his 1uz conversion into a middy. He sent the bellhousing back to CRS and they made him another one allowing for the gearbox tilt. Now...

G'day Big, lol, my rig ain't new, it's a 1985 model that has had a ground up rebuild. My best mate is a panel beater and there has been many hours and beers spent to get it lookin like it does. Yes my gearbox is a H55F. No I have not modified the crossmember. My gearbox still sits in the...

Got some pics today of my cooling system completed. I used a new HZJ75 radiator and shroud, fitted with the hydro fan set up from the Soarer front-cut. I mounted the fluid tank piggybacked to the radiator overflow bottle, and mounted the oil cooler between the radiator and the headlight. I was...

Here's my Landcruiser, cooling and fuel systems just about done now, finally ready to be wired.

Here's a few more pics...

G'day Big, yes I used a complete Dellow kit, including Bellhousing, flywheel, clutch plate, pressure plate, clutch fork, thrust race & carrier and pilot bush. Their catalogue list price for all this is about $1450AUD. By the time I sent my ring gear for them to fit to the flywheel, plus postage...

Congratulations on completing your conversion, looks like a top job. Forgive me for saying those side pipes look terrible. Looks far too shelby cobra when your Toyota is a far better car.

Ditto, there are heaps of soarers for sale here too, but very few 2J Aristo's. I know which I would prefer...

Nice ride mate. Once lowered it will look the shite. Something must be wrong if your not happy with the 2J performance. My mate has one of these and it hauls stocko. They are the ultimate sleeper!

Not normally a Ford fan but I love this thing. Well done mate, SMIK conversion!! Glad to hear its a regularly driven street machine. After all that work you gotta enjoy it.

Nothing like starting from scratch. Looking good mate, and understandably time consuming.

Hi Michael Yes I got engine mount brackets with the dellow kit, but they were that crap I ended up fabricating my own. The dellow brackets were made of thin steel, not gussetted, were the wrong shape and size and would have to be the biggest waste of $85 I have spent on my ute so far!!! The...

Thanks Thommo. By the sounds of that I'll need to fit a rear auto-locker or I'll be doin big one leggers everywhere with my heavy right foot. Where did you get vac for your brake booster? was it from the rear of the plenum just above the EGR fitting? Also mate did you have any sump clearance...

Cheers, I gather from that link that the replacement water pump I have is the correct one although updated in design from the original.

A mate came around today to replace the water pump and timing belt on my 1UZ before I refit it to my Landcruiser project. The problem is the water pump I recieved is slightly different in that it has an extra oval shaped water gallery on the bottom right hand side. The engine is from a UZZ30...

Hey Kev, I live in Gloucester, about 3 hours north of Sydney. If your 80 is an early 3F petrol, then you can use the same bellhousing as me. If it is diesel it is probably different but not sure. Cheers mate.

Hey Viv, Yes pricing between CRS and Dellows is the same almost to the dollar. A bloke on here called Thommo got a CRS kit for his middy, and had trouble with the bellhousing that when bolted to the gearbox made the engine lay over to one side. As far as I know he sent it back and they rotated...

Dazza, Dellow bellhousing is around $550, but by the time I got flywheel, clutch and all the other bits and pieces with freight cost me like $1600. Good to hear your happy with performance, mine won't be that heavy so should be good. Cheers Paul
