Hilux engine swap

the chassi and engine mounts are pretty much consistent across the range in the same year model.

The biggest problems you will have is pretty much everything under the bonnet is on a different side and most of the plumbing is different.

If it is a electronic fuel injected original vehicle or new engine you will need the entire front harness and dash.

Petrol to diesel conversion in a post EFI vehicle is a substantial undertaking ....... what you realy need is an entire front cut.

cheers

I'd suggest a v6 engine conversion from commodore be a better option accept need engineers certificate (unless hilux comes with a v6 engine as std think some did one stage).

be a massive change over project to convert to diesel fuel lines tank all need to be replaced.

dellow or marks 4wd adaptors woudl have necessary engine mount kits etc

hi
A complete wreck of a diesel version is required
Far easier conversion that way .
Little of the petrol version will be usefull
mounts ,engine , eng accessories , complete wiring loom ,fuel lines / tank , clutch and maybe g/box , rear diff ratio, front springs/ torsion bars ,dash board / gauge cluster
glow plug system , air cleaner assem. , exhaust etc etc etc

G/Day Michael, Why not rebuild the 2.7 petrol?..cheaper than going through all that exercise....My son inlaw has a 2.7lux that has done 580,000 km, never been touched!....In my opinion there the most reliable engine toyo has ever built...Forget about the the little extra fuel cost, you will never catch it up now.

Cheers Axle.

My old work had a single cab 4x2, 2.7 petrol/gas.

Get it rebuilt and put it on gas.
