Hello all. Yep another Hilux v8 conversion bloke here. I searched thread for over an hour, can't seem to find one on this specifically. Conundrum, 2003 lux a keeper, love it, can't tow or overtake, while can modify bits, going the whole way n putting a v8 in it, do I, get a ls1 ls3 1uz-fe 3uz-fe or a lc 70 series diesel turbo v8 ??? . After a long time think found right mechanic in Carrum, aware of some things that need changing, eg r151 great box, Nissan diff, flywheel, alloy radiator etc . Of those narrowed to, which one would be best ? leaning towards Toyota engines, and of those a crate in ls3 and ls1 if can find or reconditioned / refurbished engine ?. This lux will be resprayed parts replaced n be like new, usage is mostly town with weekends away long trips, so want no issues, just like it has been as standard. Fuel economy, reliability and longevity are key considerations. I would appreciate, tips, suggestions, referrals, directions to go etc I think I covered most things in relation to the engine.
