Hi all, what i would like to know is if anyone knows anything about putting a Holden 5 litre EFI V8 into a 75 series Cruiser. I know i can get the conversion kits and all the that, just wanna know what other mods need to be done. Also as its a 1HZ will the tanks need to be changed?
Really wanna keep air con and power steering. I mainly wanna know about the mods that are needed and how much an engineers report costs.
Now before everyone says go Diesel or Turbo it, NO! So Dont say it.
I want a EFI 5 Litre 304 Holden, its only going to be a Hunting/Bush Bashing rig, that will have minor mods but running 35'' Tyres and about 4''
suspension lift and 2'' body lift.
Anyone have any thoughts/opinions or first hand knowledge?
Cheers

Dont know about the cruiser, but helped a mate do a GQ ute, same mod, and the big problems were, making the computer stop looking for the auto trans, kept running in limp mode, cos his efi 5 L was from an auto.
A surge tank with apropriate pump to feed efi fuel system.
Used old original deisel tank.
He used holden PS pump and nissan box, and holden AC pump and nissan rest.
Mate, it goes like a cut cat, good fun machine.
His 4500 80 series petrol is still his favourite.
Cheers Pesty
