Landcruiser 75 Series Ute Build - Exhaust Done

I took my ute to a local exhaust shop to get a custom system fitted. I felt this was the best idea as there is not much room at the sides of the engine. I still will need to fit some heat shields to protect the fuel lines and clutch slave cylinder.

Custom Made Extractors

Straight forward nothing to fancy.

Business End (should sound good)

Landcruiser 75 Series Rebuild - Cab On.

Big day yesterday but the cab is back on. I was a bit worried about the clearance between the engine and cab but all is good.

My 75 Series Landcruiser Ute with Engine and Gear Box Together and in.

I did heaps of research into the best way to fit the LS1 into my Landcrusier Ute chassis. I went with a Mark's Adaptor allowing me to sue the original gearbox and drive shafts. I DID GET THE GEARBOX OVERHAULED.

 The engine and gearbox fits neatly into the chassis.

I did have to modify the position of the alternator and A/C compressor. Once again Mark's Adaptors had all the required brackets. They all fitted without any problems.
