Got me a new Land Cruiser
#24
I have been contemplating a motor swap, and am thinking about a 5.3L due to cost vice the diesel, but on the other hand I just want to go to Canada and pay the import fee. You guys are fortunate for the diesel option.

When I got it, it had been here for four years. Just kept my eyes open for a long time!!!!! Wanted a hilux at first, mostly to put the sled in the back, but the head issues were more than I wanted to take on. Redoing the BEB's (connecting rod bearings) in the cruiser was enough for this back yard mechanic. As for the 350 swap, well what do you drive? 60,80? Darwink has a 60 with a 350 and it is sweet, but I like to keep it Toyota, so a 4.7 might be an idea?
