Hey guys Dylan here from the other side of the world its raining hard here so was lookin for some more old skool utes and found this site and had to join. Im all about toyotas i have a hiace van with a 1jzgte and just picked up my new lil toy a New Zealand new 1977 hilux. The plan is to airbag it and drop a 1uzfe (toyota v8) and 5speed into it. Its a very common conversion in NZ in newer hiluxs but not pre 80s ,were you can buy a complete 1uzfe with trans and ecu for NZ$1500 (around US$1000). So what do ya think?
Cheers
Dylan

 

Welcome to TM. Nice toys you got there. that is a nice burn out, So why dont you drop that van to? Just static drop. That would look sick. Well glad to have ya

 

welcome to the site, love the toys u got there! there are a couple of people here doing 1uzfe swaps so make sure to check out the threads! im sure they can help u with any questions u have

 

Thanks guys ,haha van is allready lowered 3in all round and with the bigger motor that sits abit lower and smashes the sump onto our rough roads now. i will bag it after the ute aswell just to make it super easy to load the mx bikes in the back haha

 

Welcome to TM! Good lookin Yota's.
