My engine (2LT-E) is smoking, using oil and now gets hot if you even say the word 'hill' so it is time to look at a repower.
Just wanting to know what's available before I look into buying a new motor as $$$ are a bit tight at present.
Will be swapping over turbo etc. so happy to look at bare engines.
Thanks in advance.
3L or 5L engine wanted.

anyone?
Re: 3L or 5L engine wanted.
Will be pulling the 3L out of my hilux in the next couple of weeks. Turboed it almost a year ago but can sell without the turbo setup if you already have one. Never had any problems with it apart from starter and alternator which have been replaced. Guy I brought the truck off said it had been rebuilt but had no receipts so I pulled the head off when I turboed it and the bores were in really good condition. Looking for $2500 without turbo.
Cheers, Matt

Haha once again Ive got an engine here, Its a good 2.8 3L 

Toyota Landcruiser FJ40, front and rear lockers, 35" simex.

Tires are like boobs, they always look big until you have played with them for a while, then you just want a bigger set.
