5L 3ltr transplant into LN61

Post by retoohs »

Hi has anyone fitted a 5L 3ltr into a LN61? I'm just wondering what problems I might encounter. Any advice greatly appreciated.

I've got a 5L in my LN65 Hilux, went in sweet as, same engine mounts as the old 2L. The clutch and flywheel are different, the 5l flywheel has 8 bolts and is a 9.5" plate i think where as the 2L was only 6 and 9". I also used a later model bell housing but in hindsight I probably could have stuck with the 2L one, never tried it for fit.

Mines not turboed.
I just used the 5L flywheel, and put a new clutch on it
