FIRST LOOK - AUSSIE LS SWAPPED TOYOTA HILUX
After checking out the Marks 4WD Open Day, I headed back in to catch up with the team and was kindly given a tour around their latest conversion package for the very popular KUN Hilux.
Head to this link for more information.

With the enduring popularity of conversions like this, it baffles me that none of the OEs offer a V8 from factory in this style of ute

There scared to lose even 1 dollar there so out of touch these days
Right engine for the right body. Australia can have more V8 trucks without the "American size" if you know what I mean
I personally would love to have this conversion done to my N70 hilux
Just did Booroloola to Hells Gate and Burketown to Cairns in my Pathfinder towing the caravan. It really needed a V8. The V8 Landcruisers and V8 Patrols make it look easy. When the diesel finally gives up Im doing an LS conversion too because I ain't got 50k to spend on a tow rig
That’s a beautiful truck nice touch on the Ls power train
That’s a awesome Ute there. I wish marks 4x4 offer a kit for the tf rodeo, that would have saved me a ton of work in the shed but I am stoked I built my own ls Ute. I did use a marks high mount alternator and a/c kit that fit in very nice. As the v8 holden and fords are gone now and prices are getting super high for factory v8s new, people will want to put v8s into all sorts of cars.
That 154 is such a slug. Considered using one in my MightyX swap, but think I'll go the Magnum route.
I love this...got N70...2013 model 3L manual I need dat conversion....frm Fiji Islands
I have always wondered how you get the speedo and interior electrics working with a different engine?👍🤘
wonder what they do for the front diff
I like it
Mint 👌
Want to t56 rwd swap a 4wd one to leave options open later to go 4wd possibly
I personally prefer the lt4 however this is a fitting combo
That’s Adam from the cook up
very nice, how does it go offroading? well I guess thats my next search on youtube....

Most states won't engineer a 1uz into this model of hilux due to emissions laws. The engine must be same age or newer, so only option would be 3uz or ls2/3. So ls3 6litre just makes more sense

Wasn’t this an LS2? Obviously if it was an LSA or similar things go up but just thought to save people wasting his time with these sort of enquires he might have given a figure for that particular setup with the stock 5 speed as I’d reckon that’s where a lot would start? 🤷♂️🤷♂️

@@lachlanwoods3940 Agree it's weird a ballpark figure wasn't mentioned, would have been nice to know a bit more about the process too. A good fully reconditioned LS2 can be bought for ~6-7k, conversion kits another couple grand, plus 20-30hrs labour, plus whatever cost is involved for engineering report and reg engine to chassis. Guessing ~15k all up. What I wonder is, how it impacts the price of insurance.

@@IN_ZANE_ 100% Max, they wouldn’t be doing them and making money for any less that’s for sure? Insurance companies look for any excuse to raise premiums or not pay out on claims so can’t imagine a 4wd that was a 4 cylinder turbo now a thumping big V8 would be cheap to insure if at all? Shit I’m 40 and paid through the ass to insure an FG turbo Ute with a no claim history! 🤷♂️🤷♂️
