Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone has put a 1hdt into a KZj78, just thinking what id do if my 1kz let go....
the older round head light 70 series came out with a non turbo 1HD didnt they? So are the factory kzj78 mounts going to match uip with the 1hdt?
Cheers

Re: 1hdt into kzj78
its a pretty long motor to try and squeeze into a 4 cly engine bay, V8s are pretty tight and there shorter than a 6 cly engine but anythings possible 

Re: 1hdt into kzj78
But didnet the same truck come out with a 6 cylender anyway?

yeah but that ones not a prado mate its a leaf sprung cruiser with the longer engine bay 

Re: 1hdt into kzj78
Prados have a shorter chassis, the body is similar. do a search on here for 1kzte, remove egr, bigger exhaust, manual pump if you want more power, 1kz is a great motor . biggest issue really is the heads but these are not to bad to replace costwise.
Anything modified costs $$$ 1uzfe just squeezes in looking at least 10g for a drive in drive out conversion.

70 series prado (KZJ78) and 90 Series Prado (KZJ95)

If you've got heaps of time ,a good read, this basicly what you would need to do.

thought of the 13/14 bt motor shit load more torque and if it pushes the LC's around it'll move a prado
