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.

My 75 Series Landcruiser Ute Cab Back from Paint.

Cab was away for 6 weeks and is now back looking better than new.

A few rust repairs and it is in undercoat looking good.

Can't wait to get it home and start putting it together.

I sent the cab off to the painters to be sandblasted and painted. There was a bit more rust in it than I thought. Live and learn.

 

Got My LS1 Engine for my Landcruiser Ute Rebuild

Got this LS1 from a guy. It cam out of a VU SS Commodore Ute with 115,000 km on it.

Got the fuel tank as well might make it a bit easier to do the fit up.

Chassis Cleaned and Painted.
