Hey i'm looking at doing mods to both my mazda 323 and my 1968 landcruiser.
I've googled and found nothing useful .
So if anybody know of any it would be great.
Thanks mookie

Yeah but i doubt anybody on here has posted info up about jacking up the suspension of their landcruiser or an engine conversion to a mazda 323.
The main reason i want an aussie forum is so that i would be able to get the parts they used from aussie sources

For the Landcruiser, any of the 4WD forums should be able to help.

OMFG V8's IN OLD SCHOOL LANDCRUISERS ROXORS TEH BIG ONE111!
Mookie, ill try and find a number of a place here in SA that sells complete conversion kits for a 350 Chev or 308 Holden to slot into the older series landcruisers, my mate had two of them and then a heavily modified 265 Hemi in a patrol, certainly shocked some punks at the traffic lights 
What series is the cruise?
is it two door?

Lol nah it's cool i've already done the conversion a 253 V8
the car is in a shocking state as i didn't the conversion when i was like 14 then sold it then it passed thru a few more owners now i bought it back.
I'm thinking of doig an axle under lift so it will lift the truck by the height of the springs and axle.
I just need info on what other people have done.
Also i was thinking of a mazda familar motor to put in my 323.
I've googled but it's giving me doughnuts.

cuz the block was free.
It's heavily worked it has had so much stuff done to it i can't remember everything.
i just told them "i want as much power as u can squeeze out of it"
I've never dynoed it tho.
I will get up to 60 mph pretty quick. i've never gone any faster than that cuz the bonnet flys up

lol that won't work.
We managed to keep almost all of the mud and water this truck see's out of the motor so removing the bonnet would kind of defeat it
