I haven't been posting here much about my current project by taught an update would be in order.
When I last posted on here the plans for the project was to drop a 6.2 and 700R4 into a 1975 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser. After a little research and driving my class C 21' motor home with a 6.2 and th400 realized that the 6.2 was a little under powered for what I wanted to do. After quite a bit of talking with Bill (convert2diesel) the plans changed over to getting a center mount turbo 6.5 (I couldn't fit a passenger side turbo for lack of room).
A call was made to Jamie at the Diesel Depot with the hopes he could build something for me. What I ended up with was the following:
BASE ENGINE
Remanufactured Rear Turbo Long-block
INTERNAL UPGRADES
Balanced Rotating Assembly
Coated Piston Crowns
ARP Cylinder Head Studs
EXTERNAL UPGRADES
Complete Rear Turbo Kit (w/ Reman Turbo)
Paint GM Corporate Blue
Ceramic Coat Exhaust Manifolds and Turbo Housing
6.5L Turbo Injectors
6.5L Turbo Arctic Injector Pump (Reman)
60G Glow Plugs
Glow Plug Wiring Harness
Fluidampr
Complete Serpentine Kit (early style with pass. Side a.c compressor)

The project is a lot further ahead then in the pic. I'm hoping to get it running in the next couple of weeks.
Here's a link to the complete build thread on IH8MUD: http://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series-tech/182303-my-75-fj40-build-up-thread.html
Here's a link to youtube of Diesel Depot starting the engine for the first time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAJUv546AEA
Hopefully you let me pick your brain's as I try to get this thing on the road once and for all.
