  • Has anyone put a V8 in a kzn185 3rd gen?

    So I see a hell of a lot of talk about putting the LS400 engine in the gen2 surf which just seems like Toyota missed a trick but is it the same for the 3rd? I am reading a few old threads but anyone driving one?

    I am happy enough with the dirty derve but I would like to know how much hassle/cost it might be if I happend across an engine and decided to take the plunge.

    It's been done and another is currently under way

    From memory it was Karma Supra that completed the first one, but i stand to be corrected

      Great. Good to know I wont be breaking new ground with it then.

      The thought of the 4.3l V8 in my 3rd makes me go all woBBly inside...

      And an LPG set up makes it almost worth the MPG. lol...

            Yup it was me...

            Build thread is the next one down on this sub forum

            That engine won't run unless you get the immobiliser transponder bits and ignition key from the same car, unless you go aftermarket management.
            More Lift.
            More Tyres.
            More Engine.

              so no go on the beast unless you go all out. Hmm. Thats already bloody useful info.

              I will read up your build thread. I am going to tune up the 1kz which means it probs wont last as long so having a defined replacement route will sell with the missis much easier!
