Ok this is gonna be a build up of a 1971 FJ-40 which has been named "The Cucumber" by xjnation in this thread: http://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series...-my-truck.html

2f from a '79

• GM 4.3 TBI driven by a MegaSquirt 2 Extra.
• A 3fe distributor to sense the crank position and send that back to the MegaSquirt 2 Extra which then directly drives a Ford wasted spark 6 pack.
• Knock detector
• WB-O2 sensor
• dual AFR tables so that I can throw a switch on the computer between normal and economy.
• CAM custom ground.
• Engine bottom end is balanced.
• ARP rod bolts for a Supra.
• Engine and head have been machined and are essentially brand spanking new.
• Man-a-fre tuned headers
• Cherry bomb

Future 2f mods

• Serpentine belt
• Eaton M90 Supercharger that can be turned on and off with a switch. (Almost all superchargers off production cars behave in this fashion... they have a vacuum actuated switch that bypasses the supercharger under low load. They really only kick in when you mash the pedal. Just need to change the vacuum actuated switch to a solenoid.)

Power Steering

• Steering gear from a IH Scout II
• electric power steering pump, driver, and control computer from an early to mid 90's MR2. It will give me variable power steering when I get it dialed in and I will have it wired so that I can have auto/computer controlled, HI, OFF. ( This will work fine and the pump puts out 2000 psi... more than any mechanical driven pump.)

Drivetrain

• Toyota LC 5 speed and transfer case, rebuilt
• Rebuilt 79 front and rear axles. Currently 3.73, will probably switch to the 4.11 that I have... depends on how it feels when it is all together.
• Monte Carlo disk brakes on rear with E-Brake.

Future Drivetrain

• Selectable lockers front and rear. Probably ARB as the Toyota E-Locker is probably more costly. Not like there is a lot of choices in the selectable locker category for the Land Cruiser.

Electrical

• Painless 18 circuit harness
• GM CS-144 140 amp alternator
• HID headlights
• LED lights everywhere else.

Cooling

• Ford Taurus fan

Future Cooling

• Electric water pump Davies, Craig EWP High Performance and Racing Electric Water Pump Kits

Bling

• Polished aluminum valve cover
• Polished aluminum water pump
• Polished aluminum Warn locking hubs
• Polished aluminum thermostat housing top and bottom
• Engine is painted POR-15 Ford Corporate Blue.
• Front and rear axles painted with POR-15 black.
• Bomber style guages. Gauge Product Selector

Suspension and tires

• Alcan in the near future.
• Parnelli Jones Dirt Grip 33x12.50
• F-250 Shock Towers.
