4JB1 into Prado 95 or LC 80 or pre-2000 LC?

Postby jayjay » Mon Aug 15, 2022 2:15 am

G'day

As a newbie, I am a big fan of 4JB1 and wonder anyone know if the 4JB1 will fit into a Prado 95 or LC 80? Is it worth the fiddling around?
If you wonder why, in addition to its reliability, parts for 4JB1 is quite easy to get hold of.

Thanks.

Dont put it into the 80 series. Its too small a motor for a close to 3 ton truck. Look at the 4B series engines or one of the 6 cylinder Isuzu diesels. 95 series Prado yes it can be made to fit but do you use the isuzu trans or mess around making an adapter plate to the toyota trans. Either way its a lot of work and there is nothing wrong with the Toyota engine in that model
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them
