toyota landcruiser bj40 12ht first start

[enterBJ40]

hope i could have an engine like that...and a garage like that too!!

[Dragehest]

i am glad you got it started i was worried for a while there, NOT. 12HTs are awesome

[AmisCorolla]

thanks. 12ht always starts easily

[enterBJ40]

how many modifications you did to make the 12ht fits in the BJ40?

[AmisCorolla]

new engine brackets. gearbox bracket fits directly. Gimbals had to make the desired length. hj's radiator and electric fan

[enterBJ40]

will you use the original BJ40 body?i think the 12Ht is too high and may be too wide to fix in the stock BJ40's engine compartment.

[AmisCorolla]

yes i use the original body. it's not too high, here in finland have lots of bj with 12ht or 2h engine. this was previously 2h before the engine rebuild.

[enterBJ40]

so...theres no necessary to make any modification in the body to make the engine fix well under the hood,right?

[AmisCorolla]

is not necessary, but may raise it a little.

the original fan to remove and replace electric fan

[AmisCorolla]

here in finland we have lots of 12ht :D
