hilux repower wanted

[J_Dub]

Im looking for a repower now for my beam axle lux.
Will consider any respectable toyota donk with a bit of balls or a conversion setup..
1kz 3rz turbo 3l old school 8 comy v6.
Im not gona pay top dollar, somebody out there may be doing a repower and getting rid of their trusty toyota engine and wants a quick sale.
Have a few options but doesnt hurt asking around aswell

1kz 3rz turbo 3l old school 8 comy v6.

most conversions you have sort out a bellhousing, clutch, engine mounts, exhaust, radiator, ECU/wiring, certification etc etc etc.... if you have to fork out for all that shit you might as well go the biggest bang for buck engine you can fit in there or you'll always regret not going a bit bigger or a few cylinders more

Saw one with a 253 V8 in it the other day, went awesome! They should be getting pretty cheap now

Consider the 1uz as well

sadam.. well aware of conversion requirements just thoguth ide throw it out there if someone was ripping somthing out...

Tim.. yep im considering buying an old v8 cause they are pretty cheap now,

Jerry... not sure if i like the idea of a late model inj 8... i wana be able to do bush repairs myself, wana keep things simple

dude, it's pretty hard to beat the ole commonwhore V6. Yes it may be injected, but is simple to wire and they are very robust off road. You would be well advised to get more oil in the sump as they are still a car engine and dry bearing syndrome is an issue.

make a new deep sump to rear of engine, and put pick up at the back and no worries,
