Hello,

I posted this in Mud as well - but probably a better local resource here.

My 1989 Land Cruiser has some pretty good blue and white smoke coming out the exhaust. Time for a head gasket rebuild. I would entertain doing a carb'd 350 swap if I could pay someone local to do it reliably.

Who does Rising Sun recommend for the head gasket job?

Who does Rising Sun recommend for a potential 350 engine swap?

I have my 100 series to cruise around in while its being fixed.



Thanks in advance.

Engines swaps are getting pretty expensive, I’d imagine you could expect to pay minimum 20k even for a carbd 350. Id do a head rebuild on the 3fe and go another couple hundred thousand miles.
