useful info about cruiser

hey so far i picked the motor up for $3000 already had the turbo on it then i stripped it and did a ful rebuild just for peice of mind. then spoke direct to exceedy do get a clutch kit made for it that would handle it, the rebuild kit cost me $2700 with a NEW GENUINE crank all bearings, gaskets, seals etc.
the clutch kit cost $700 (brass button 3 puk) very very heavy but feels solid.
I droped the 2 tanks and pulled the pump out of the front tank and extended the pick up hose then fitted the diesel change over valves ,- not needed if using the petrol wiring.
the valves cost $90 new.
then got a turbo diesel dash depending on where it comes from or how many k's , depends on the price i found 1 with 66,745klms and paid $450.
then stripped the whole interia every wire out and got a new diesel loom front half of the loom cost $350 the rear half $250 then the hard part FIND A GOOD GOOD GOOD AUTO ELEC to teediously pick the dash wires out and trace the printed circuit and put them right then put the hand in the pocket again for another $2500 then its basically done just all the little things.
i also fitted 3 inch suspention lift and a 2 inch body lift front and rear air lockers, 35 inch muddies
now i got the g/box checked and a couple of new bearings. you will also need a 1hdt bell housing. So some may say that i should have sold it and got a diesel but its all about the experience and now i know the whole car is great. so if any one wants any parts just let me know. all going cheap.

have prob missed a few things i also fitted a big front mount cooler and bov all gauges and things like that

Thanks for that i have thought about an engine transplant but the petrol is going ok. i have done a few over the years , my s3 landrover, an international scout and fj45 landcruiser fitted a 327 chev that went good.
At least you will know what to do if you do another.
