This is the fourth episode in the build series of putting in a 1VD-FTV turbo diesel engine from a 79 series into my 80 Series Landcruiser. This channel is a vlog of my journey as a backyard restorer and follows my restomod builds. Make sure you check out my other builds too!
In this video, I discuss the requirements for the fuel lines and set about making new ones. I then start to assemble the engine for the final time including mounting the turbo, clutch and installing it into the chassis. I also install the transfer case and provide a wiring update. My aim is to complete this conversion in just 7 weeks! So wish me luck.
Throughout this build series, I share what I am learning along the way and the mistakes I make in order to show you, that anyone can have a crack at this type of conversion (if they have the patience!). I am not a mechanic by any stretch, but love spending the time in the shed restoring and converting these old classics. Follow me and my journey on Instagram and Tiktok too:
