Doc, that has to be one of the coolest rigs I've ever seen. The overheating in traffic issue is actually your transmission temperature causing the problem. At stop your transmission is not moving enough fluid around to stay cool. Since it is cooled through the same rad as your engine, the engine temperature goes up too. So, to address this you need to add a seperate transmission cooler. Electric engine fans are also more efficient. Both are better ideas. Absolutely stunning rig and owner.

[@crazybob1954mo]

Ha... The engine overheating Has Nothing to do with the transmission!!! Low air flow across the radiator due to low speed, and low cooling fan rpm Is the problem. She could have put it in neutral and run engine at High Idle during stops and that would have helped the cooling situation. Installing a separate transmission cooler is not a bad idea. However it will Not help with the overheating at slow travel speed in hot weather! 🙄

[@robhertle4110]

@crazybob1954mo you are only slightly correct. The volume of air movement versus the capacity of the cooling flow isn't sufficient enough. Larger capacity radiator OR adding a transmission cooler so it doesn't affect enginec temperature is the correct solution along with a more efficient electric fan. It is absolutely the transmission. Transmission can run much hotter than engines. I've been a mechanic over 40 years. I've encountered this many many times.

[@crazybob1954mo]

@@robhertle4110 Ha. I may be ""Slightly Correct"" ... However you are 'Completely Wrong! The transmission IS NOT Causing The Overheating Problem! Still ONLY a mechanic after 40 years???? Also you are wrong about the transmission temperature. The transmission runs cooler than the Engine Temperature And cooler than the Engine Oil Temperature... With an Engineering Degree majoring in Thermodynamics I was Lead project Engineer for +20 years and currently The Superintendent of PC&E for the last 12 years at The Dow Chemical Co. SO....The lo air flow volume caused a substantially low Delta T across the radiator! In terms You May? Understand..... The Engine Overheated!! Uh OK....

@crazybob1954mo whatever. I never came on to Hannah's site yo attack people to make yourself look smart. We are essentially talking about the same thing.

[@carlpaladino427]

What a very cool truck. That long shift lever, special. My first Toyota had that exact tool kit. If you take her overland keep the mods simple to retain the original simplicity and beauty of what was already done to her.

[@toddhoffmaster6057]

Great build for sure. I don't think that Hot August Nights really knew enough about this Land Cruiser to judge it correctly. The other cars and trucks were nice, but this is a vey rare thing of beauty.

[@bardamu9662]

Beautiful gem truck almost in its original condition and soul. When behind the wheel, we can already have a safari feeling with the powerful engine roaring like a lion! Congrats for the build!

[@Johnfisher12345]

As for overheating when idling in traffic vs. moving down the road, that’s almost certainly an airflow issue, as it sounds like you already suspect. Make sure you have a heavy duty fan clutch on there that locks up tight when it’s hot, and use the appropriate size water pump pulley so that fan is spinning sufficiently fast at idle to provide adequate airflow. A mild small block like that with a good aluminum radiator should not at all be difficult to keep cool with a well-sorted mechanical fan. The right size fan, shroud, and a good fan clutch should move plenty of air at idle to keep it cool. Worst case scenario, it looks like there’s room in there to add an auxiliary electric fan on the radiator to boost airflow at idle. My Lincoln Town Car uses that setup from the factory and it works great.

[@Fireballsocal]

Good call on the pulley size. That alone could make all the difference. Hannah, at normal operating temp and at idle, you should be able to toss a towel against the radiator front and it should stick. The fan should cause enough airflow to suction the towel to the radiator. The shroud installed looks clean but doesn't cover all of the radiator surface so the fan is losing a small amount of efficiency there. Generally, a heavy mechanical fan like that one is the best for cooling in harsh conditions. I wouldn't start exploring electric fans till you consider the cheaper options.

[@Hermandbl7]

Great truck no matter if it is Japanese metal. Beautiful build and well thought out. Chevy 350 usually run cool enough and 200-210F isn't hurting anything. My 2006 F250 6.0L diesel has a mechanical fan with an electric/computer controlled clutch and it gets up to 220F on hot days. The clutch locks the fan in full mechanical mode around 205F so I hear the fan when I'm in stop-N-go traffic. Thanks for giving us a look at your undercarriage!

[@davidcampbellii6342]

One of a kind-That is one sweet Land Cruiser- almost hate to see it dinged up, until after it wins class Grand Campion at Hot August Nights!! Hannah has enough off road vehicles, this can be a garage queen for a while. The added air was a nice touch and the big tires and lockers just in case… The extra weight and length needed more HP- so a bombproof 350 was perfect

[@kevinh891]

Wow! this is actually "truck porn" for me. My very first vehicle I ever owned was a 1964 Toyota Landcruiser FJ-40!! I sold it after a few years. And I have regretted it ever since. When I bought it it was 20 years old. And fully outfitted for off road. It was my introduction to all things mud and rock. With a few trees knocked over for good measure...

[@fwhunt5021]

I own a 1976 FJ 40 that I purchased new . It currently has 43,500 miles on it . I installed a kit form Downey many years ago (holley carb. new headers and a vacuum advanced distributor) . It has been sitting in my shop for 3 years I need a new carb and a new distributor I'll get to them one of these days. My suggestion would be to use the vehicle as an overlander. It is a beautiful vehicle and a great job.

[@TonyFrankJazz]

That engine warms my Detroit heart!

[@mitchhuested6244]

Hannah, no need to convert to electric fan(s). If you're heating up in traffic, buy a 4-row radiator instead. Allows greater quantity of water as well as enhanced cooling. The stock Toyota radiator just isn't big enough for the larger engine

[@kennethstauffer1034]

It's a awesome ride! A electric fan won't hurt if you want to spend the money. Setting in traffic it will make it better.

Wow - great Land Rover! I totally forgot about Hot August Nights this year, great show there, with BBQ.

[@tarstakars]

You can probably solve the engine over heating problem by changing the air cleaner and stalling a cold air intake that leads directly to the outside of the body. This way you're not sucking the hot air from under the hood into the engine. This completely cured the over heating problem with my V6 cj5.

[@IntoTheMystery13]

This video rocked!

[@Robert8455]

Super cool build. I can appreciate the SBC motor, pairs well with the LC. I think it is one of a kind but the joy with any vehicle is actually driving it and using it rather than just saving it. So, I'm okay with putting it to the test. You are one good looking woman and super fine in the shorts and boots but I can also appreciate very much that blue polkadot dress. Look into Evans waterless coolant for some extra protection with that motor. Electric fans also good as would be an upgraded alternator and dual batteries. 🙂

[@jeremys6631]

Look into FAL fans. They do racing fans and have some that can push air thru. So what I'm saying is that you can have both and have electric fan on a switch when needed.

[@TM39Chevycoupealtered]

That is the coolest cruiser I have ever seen! Great job!

[@Kaijet2000]

And so it begins! I can see in your glow you’re a car/truck junkie. Never knew you were building one to show. Just know, from a guy with 30 plus years of buying/building/showing custom hot rods and trucks that it’s extremely addictive. Keep showing that beauty for sure, you already have a capable beast for off road. You should take her down to the Florida Truck Meet next April and definitely do the 4-Wheel Jamboree in Indy next month if you can. Both are incredible truck and 4x4 events, you’d love it! Have fun Beautiful, remember, it’s ok to get lost, just don’t get stuck! 😁🤘🏼😎😈

[@HighSierra1500]

That is a gorgeous Toyota Landcruiser build, Hannah! In regards to engine cooling. Mechanical fans draw a greater volume of air through the vehicle when you are cruising down the highway. If the engine was overheating in stop and go traffic, I suggest adding an electric fan in front of the radiator, to push air through, and a switch inside the vehicle to control it. Also, what thermostat are you running? If it's a 195°F, try a 180°F.

[@mikekress6842]

Awesome video! I am glad from your other video the truck the motor goes to. The other vehicles at the car show were awesome as well.

[@kirkyboy5426]

Welcome to the Land Cruiser Fam! Thats damn expensive rig...Love it

[@JesudeGannes]

What a fantastic build, love the machine! I have a suggestion on the fan issue. If your transmission is connected to the radiator to cool it, install a separate cooler, you won't regret it. There are more advantages to disadvantages in doing this. The engine driven fan is extremely reliable and really gives no trouble, it can be repaired in the field with either belts or a bottle of silicone oil. But it consumes a lot of engine HP and Torque, I recommend the electric fan upgrade, American Volt has some really nice kits, that integrate control, radiator and fans all you need is to supply power to the system. If you're off roading spares for the systems take up very little room.

[@scottrichards2044]

After I blew the original straight 6 in my 67 F-J40 land cruiser I've been in the process of putting a Chevy 4 bolt main v-8 that came out of a Corvette. Love my F-J40 when it was running nothing could stop it.

[@davidduafala3050]

Don't take a chance of overheating. Just get the electric fan. It is a beautiful truck and as a Toyota fan this is heaven sent for me. Good Job🤩

[@ataxpayer723]

Overheating causes and fixes; 1. the front winch is blocking airflow into the radiator. 2. The 35inch tires have affected the overall gear ratio. This means that the engine is not running at high enough revs to drag air through the radiator. 3. Install a better radiator with more capacity. 4. Install electric fans, with an over-ride switch. 5. Check that the thermostat is opening correctly.

[@GoodTimeGuy-k5i]

I remember rebuilding the engine in a ‘78 Land Cruiser years ago. I thought it was the most intelligently designed off road vehicles ever. Everything was set up for easy service and repair “out there”. Yours is very similar. I see they had great ideas and kept them. Regarding the cooling issue, I think you would do well to put an electric fan or two on the front of the radiator with a thermostatic control. Nice rig.

[@lesgaal4017]

Hi Dr Hannah had the pleasure of owning three forty series Landcruisers all of them i converted to V8 power. One had a 427 Chevy b/block the other two with 302 Windsor for engines the difference between stock and V8 there's no comparison. Here in Australia I would fit an eighty series land cruiser alloy radiator and twin electric fans. You just have to use a larger alternator for higher electric output. Great video and luv the truck.

Very cool truck indeed. But then I started daydreaming about a longer bed (I'm not a fan of the short box trucks). If I was going to lengthen the box, I'd do a full 6x6 conversion. I would probably also swap that 350 for a 383 with fuel injection. Then, of course, the truck bed camper. But that's ME. That truck is amazing as it sits and would make for an amazing overlander...even with the short box.

[@billabbott]

Sale her to me lol. Thanks for shoeing her to us . I had a red white one when I was in school love it .

[@Jim-fe2xz]

Through a series of events I ended up with a Mercury Mountaineer all wheel drive which my "friend" convinced me would make a great "surf wagon". She had a used car business and had bought it at auction so it's history is unknown. It too only has a mechanical fan although parts houses claim there's an electric fan that fits it (somehow). Highway driving to and from the beach (stop and go) the AC performance will drop until I get moving again but it never overheats. Max temps were around 90 degrees near home in the coastal mountains. I thought I'd add an electric fan that only comes on when the AC is on (if I can get it to fit of course). No expert here but my two cents for free.

[@DonWon4725]

Nice little setup Hannah love how clean the engine bay looks, learned with these type of setups your radiator might be too small this might contribute to the over heating problems.

If you can't feel the vibration the engine is to small! Hilarious! 🤪 Too funny. Great looking set up.

WOW! thats a cool rig, I had a 78 FJ40 with a SB350 yep it would get hot the biggest issue was the starter would get really hot. Ive got a 79 HJ45 now modified and a 88FJ62 seems like I'm always tweeking them.

[@joelmurphy7980]

Thumbs up for not an LS and normal 15" wheels. If it has a five blade fan try a seven blade first, see if it solves the problem. Going electric generally means also upgrading the alternator and wiring to handle the added amp load. Going electric can get a bit costish. I spent close to a grand to install dual electrics on my Ramcharger.
