Ok, so I bought this Toyota Land Cruiser about a year ago. (It's a mutt!) I was told it had a "66" Buick V6 in it. Didn't think much of it. I thought I would end up pulling it and putting a newer Toyota drive train it for dependability and efficiency. It's a daily driver and I can't afford for it to "guzzle".
Anyway, the little engine runs good so I don't do much to it, but replace the HUGE carb it had on it (Holley 600cfm) with a slightly smaller Holley 390cfm. Instantly had better throttle response and havent'done anything to it until now.
I jump on line with the only information I have and that is the engine block cast number (25514290) I find out the little "66" is not a little "66", but a 79-84. I'm still not sure, but the last thing I read about this cast number is it could be a "Turbo RWD"???? This is where I come to everyone here.
The more I seek out information about this engine the more I like it. I would love to stick with it, but like I said, I need dependability and efficiency. Don't be afraid to tell me like it is. Am I dreaming??? Can I fuel inject this thing so I can go rock crawling without the dreaded "fuel starving stall"? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
