Hi,
Joined today, and great to be here.
Im based in London, and recently bought a 1990 LJ71 Land Cruiser. Its a Jap import (1998). It has 150k on the clock, and im planning to redo it. The engine runs fine with no issues at all. I have read that the 2LTE engine head is prone to cracking. I want the body and interior redone, but thinking now of replacing the engine. So the questions are. 1- Do I redo the body and interior and have the engine looked over and replace it when it gives up. 2- Replace engine now. Then my follow-up question would be, what is the best engine to replace it with? Is there a engine that fits this manifold or would it all need changing?
What would a questimation be on price for engine swap?
Thanks
