Toyota 3B Diesel engine for SFA Lux

Post by TOYMAD »

Gents, do any of you know if someone/anyone (preferably in Cape Town) has successfully built a 3.4L 3B engine (Land Cruiser BJ 40/Dyna) into a SFA Hilux? I bought my Hilux with a 5L 3Litre (replaced the original 2.8) fitted and although she runs quite nicely, I would prefer better inherent reliability and higher torque output. Yes, I love the smell of Diesel in the morning and have read all the threads about the 7MGE engines, but I want DIESEL.

These motors were used in the dyna trucks, they were heavy low reving engines, they did last long, but were not very popular due to very high repair costs.
The landcruiser had lower diff ratios and was better suited for the aplication.
Performance and acceleration will be really slow.
