2.8 EFI DOHC is in the Hilux already.

the hilux engine bay was empty..so i didnt have to piss around taking that motor out ..that's the only reason it didnt take long, to get the cressida motor out only had to disconnect the main loom from the ECU,removed the PS pump, undo engine mounts, disconnect the vaccume hoses and heater hoses, take off the auto linkages and exhaust and driveshaft, then drop the trans crossmember...so in theory any one could do it as quick...all i needed was my air tool's....they speed things up a wee bit.... :lol:

hahaha....yeah.."Saftey first" is my motto.!!! it's just a cheap supercheap air tool set..think it was about $220.00..i got one of their belt driven compressors in a deal ..so had to get tool's to run with it..

NuTTa · Post by **NuTTa** » Fri Sep 29, 2006 10:23 am

for sure Big Brother...i might have access to two more motor's ..and might have access to another bellhousing..so i'll put one together for your truck since the engineers gave me the news that the 350 needs a rebore and will need the pistons to suit, so i'm flagging the chev conversion and will stick with the 5M...so apart from the 35's your running and your diff ratio's..our trucks should be equal..

Cheers

Cheers
Brendon

SupraSurf · Post by **SupraSurf** » Sat Sep 30, 2006 8:30 am

Use the 2L radiator its a better fit and cools well, swap the top fitting for the bottom

If you reuse the Lux PS pump then you can get to the Alt when it gets full-o-shit or even better shift it higher

NuTTa · Post by **NuTTa** » Sat Sep 30, 2006 8:47 pm

Off to get the bellhousing tomorrow morning.!!!. :twisted:

.got a gearbox for $150.00.

..so things are looking good..could be up and running in a week or so... :lol:

Suprasurf, did you make the brackets for the lux PS pump to fit.?..and Alternator bracket.?..
if so how much to make a set.???..i dont have a welder...or a decent grinder...lol..
