got new gearbox and transfer case in and what a difference!! i can actually talk to my passenger now without competing with a high pitched whine. and i dont have to wrestle with the gearstick to get her in and out of 4WD, cheers jason.

Top man, if you could PM me with a price that would be great thanks. i need to replace transfer but cost depending id replace the gearbox too. are the transfers interchangeable between 40 series cruisers?

im not sure why i even bother posting on here anymore, should just PM jason in the first place
i take it youve got one then?

Had decided to keep engine as is for now to try save money as am thinking of shifting. Then just my luck the transfercase shit itself, do i need a specific one to replace it or are the 40 series ones much the same? Just a side thought does anyone know how hard th H series 4 speeds are to come by ...

no worries mate.

would prefer something simple, dont have access to any lathes etc so would have to get this done in town if needed.

i see, what steering box would be the easiest to use on fortys?

think im going to do powersteer while im at it. been offered an electric powersteer pump out of a MR2 that a mate had in his hilux for $300. are these any good?? good price or not?
Cheers.

Cheers

Cheers man.
well ill be broke after this so i wont have a choice haha. itll be looking only for me for a while.

So 2 grand wouldnt be too bad? whats the difference between a 2 bolt mains and 4 bolt mains? which is better?
Cheers

how much would a rebuild cost? can get a complete imported motor, "good runner", from charlton auto imports in gore for $2,000. good or not good?

have decided to go 350 chev, on the look out for an engine now

would this bellhousing bolt up to a 5 Speed cruiser box? not sure what out of yet just know i wanto get rid of the 4 speed i have.
Pm me how much you want for the lot.
i take it the 350 would be more waterproof than the lexus?

how much would i expect to pay for a 350? anything i should be looking for in particular when looking for a motor?
i understand there is no disadvantage in having a carburetted engine?
What are the parts that u have that are needed?
Cheers for the info fellas.

was opting for the lexus so i could use a cruiser gearbox and therefore keep my pto winch and also had a mate of a mate who could wire it into the 45s loom for me (apparently done a couple before). What are your reasons for preffering the 350??

After driving the 45 round pretty much standard for a while ive decided that i need more power had my mind set on a lexus V8 with cruiser gearbox, untill i read a thread about how crap they are in the water... now not sure but unsure of an alternative either. can anyone whos running a lexus put my ...

cheers sadam, ill send jaffa a PM.
yea your probly right, just thought id go for the better ones if the difference in price wasnt excessive.

im thinking standard ones, longfields are a bit pricey for me

thanks fellas think ill get sum slip on spacers and longer studs then. pics to come, but shes up on blocks in the shed @ the moment nd thats a bit like sending someone a pic of your kid in a hospital bed . does anyone know where i can get aftermarket cvs for this truck?
cheers deano

yea callipers same as ones on the right. would spacers put a significant amount of strain on my hub bearings? or in saying that it would be the same as offset rims wouldnt it?

talked to previous owner and he reckons theyre cruiser callipers. i see on the SNR website that you can get spacers up to 3" wide, are these road legal?

front calipers, ah ill have to find tomorrow.

used on the road to so will need to pass a WOF. local rural garage anyway which im sure would overlook spacers, im more concerned about the spacers being a week point. they dont hit the calipers by a lot but enough to make me want to do something about it. unsure of rim make they just look like ...

I have an HJ45 that is pretty much stock standard which i am planning to modify/tweak as i can afford it/get around to it, so i thought id start a thread so i could ask a couple of question about various things. I have a set of 33" buckshots on 10 inch rims which rub on the disc break calipers that ...

cheers. have started thinking that maybe a new motor and box will be easier than pissing around trying to get a 5 speed to fit mine. read somewhere that the 3B has more power than the H engine? if so would this transplant be worth it?
cheers deano.

still looking for a 5 speed box for the cruiser.is it the lenght of the bell housing that is different between the two 60 deries gearboxes that you were talking about ClassicCruiserSpares? if so wud it be possible to keep the existing bellhousing? or has Toyota not made it that simple. found this on ...
