I first wanted to say thanks to everyone here for providing such a wealth of information on these motor swaps... If it weren't for you guys we would probably still be neck deep in this conversion...
So we are 99% comple with this project... Like the title says this a 1992 Fj80 Landcruiser with a dovebid 132,xxx mile 4bt with a built GM 700r4 auto transmission, Fj60 split transfer case with AA adapter plate, 6bt intake heater with a Volvo intercooler, custom Aluminum radiator w/ electric fan, rebuilt axles and driveshafts, 4" OME lift, 35" Dick Cepek FC-II's, Arb winch bumper, and many more mods to come.....
The swap was pretty straight forward and went smoothly...The only fab work was motor mounts and modifying the stock trans x-member to sit a few inches to the rear....I have been driving it for about 2 weeks on B100 biodiesel and it has plenty of power and can pull out in traffic no problem and do 80 on the hwy with ease...The pump has one turn on the fuel screw and 1/8" timing advance.. I'm not sure what kind of HP I'm getting, but I can get 18-20 psi boost with the stock H1C turbo and can keep the egt's below 1200.
I removed the factory rear spare tire and mount and have plenty of room to add a 40 gallon Aluminum veggie oil tank with a custom Plantdrive wvo conversion.
Here are some pics of the Veggie80 Carbon Neutral Cruiser..
