1987 FJ60 5.3 V8 Conversion Overview
The hardest and most expensive part of any FJ60 restomod is the V8 conversion, and on this 1987 Land Cruiser it is already done. The modern V8 swap delivers the reliability, power, and drivability that the original 2F inline six simply cannot match, while keeping the unmistakable FJ60 look that draws Land Cruiser enthusiasts to this body style in the first place. Paired with the 6 speed transmission, this build is set up for highway cruising, daily driving, and weekend trail use without the compromises of the factory drivetrain. Firewall sound deadening is already installed, addressing one of the most common complaints about classic Land Cruisers and giving the cabin a noticeably quieter feel before the interior work even begins.
Paint and Exterior, Customize the Finish
This 1987 FJ60 Land Cruiser V8 for sale is currently in the body and paint phase, which makes this the ideal time to get involved. Whether you prefer a factory Toyota color like Freeborn Red, Cygnus Blue, or Beige, a classic two tone, or something completely custom, the final finish can still be tailored entirely to your vision before paint is laid down. We can also discuss bumpers, lighting, wheels, and tire packages so the exterior reflects exactly how you plan to use the truck. This is your FJ60 Land Cruiser, finished your way.
Suspension and Drivetrain Options
Suspension and drivetrain components on this restored FJ60 Land Cruiser can be dialed in to match your intended use. We work with Old Man Emu, Dobinsons, and other proven suspension systems, and we can spec lockers, gearing, and ride height to suit daily driving, overlanding, or more aggressive off road use. Tell us how you plan to drive it and we will build the running gear to match.
Interior Configuration
The foundation is in place on this FJ60 Land Cruiser V8 for sale with full flexibility to go in any direction. Choose a clean OEM style interior or upgrade to custom vinyl or leather upholstery along with modern features like a touchscreen head unit, backup camera, upgraded sound system, and enhanced HVAC. This is your opportunity to build a cabin that matches your style and comfort expectations completely, from a stock factory look to a fully modern restomod interior.
