What's the White foam for??

To stop vibration and give the bonnet more strength now that the braces have been cut.

Mist excellent vince.
so showing off the lump to passets by, is now quicker.

I see your speil chucker is borked again?

Ahhh...ventilation.

Fitted gas struts too!
Opening the bonnet is a one handed operation now, just pull the release in the cab, flip the catch, raise bonnet the first six inches and then it raises itself all the way to maximum.

Hey guys, at the risk of hi-jacking a very wayward thread ........ I've been following this (all 22 pages!) for a while. I've now gone and bought a nice low mileage lexus v8 lump with gearbox and ECU. But from what I can gather, no-one has done this conversion to a KZN-185 yet ... am I wrong?
I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew with this. Is there anyone on here that can help / do the work, or at least know of a man who can?
Thanks for any help

Bushwhacker is the guy to talk to as i think would like to see what the lexus engine would fit like in the 3rd gen.

[gwh200]

I think it's discussed a few pages back. It's possible to retrofit to a 3rd gen,you have to swap output shafts, as the transfer box is located differently to a 3rd gen....but spot on mister,this will be worth following.

Like Ross'?

His was a LOVE YOU LONG time machine

SORTED!!.

And damm predictive texting. I was in the middle of a second hummer mot.
Only thing is the damm fools dont have a clue what their doing.
Vosa.. "Its failed on emissions mate"
Me..."you have entered the engine as a 3.1 litre diesel...its a 6.0 litre petrol"


vosa..."no its not"


me..."you areally are crap aintcha"...cue, bonnet up and there is a 6.0 litre v8...standard hummer fare....muppets.
This scenario is repeated for the brake test. They initially failed it because the fronts didnt lock up...err...ABS FOOLS!!!!!

And so it went on.This is why my predictive text was so profoundly wrong....total breakdown of normal,sane behaviour>

He means Flux cap.
His truck is about to become a time machine.

[BUSHWHACKER]

Do you have predictive text Gra?

Whats a distance cap? Is it for engines soooo huge that the ignition system is very far away?

Iwas very pleased about the plug lead and distance cap price. Dome are charging double that...and second hand ones on eBay for £40 quid!
