Hey all,
I’m kind of new to the FJ40 world and have a project on my hands. Restoring / overhauling a pretty beat-up FJ40 and the owner doesn’t want to change engines.
So…. Now I’m searching for a stock exhaust manifold for a 1969 “F” engine.
Not interested in shipping but willing to drive through California, Nevada, Oregon and pick up with cash.
Any of you V-8 Swap guys got the stock engine laying around still?
The Walking Dead, season 3, episode 12
List of first things to fix first. Yes I’d removed the cowling to get a better look at the water pump and It seems to be idling a bit high.
I’m new to the whole FJ community.
Anyone know what size the brake line is? The rigid copper line. I suppose I can go get some calipers to measure.
'69 with a '67 327 ci vetted engine, SM465 granny low and 3'spd transfer case.
Does any one know if the rear barn doors can be converted to half doors? Wanting to buy a FJ with a soft top but was worried the rear doors would be a giant wind deflector with no top.
What kind of engine oil do you guys use on this bad boys? Mineral, synthetic, semi synthetic.
Thanks🤠
Hi I have an 1982 FJ45 with power steering, but the hoses are all dry/broken up and leaking, replacing them isn't straightforward, since I still can't find anyone nearby that has them.
Custom fitting new lines won't be viable financially speaking, due to the possible damage to the other steering components from running dry.
I'm quite used to driving manual steering so I want to delete my power steering, I just don't know how.
I'm open to retrofitting parts from other cars as necessary
Any help is appreciated
I think this is a fuel leak - it’s going to the car hospital again soon but wanted to ask here if anyone thinks it’s not a fuel leak?
Thanks!
