Things I learned
I figured I'd post up a few things I did to this motor. SInce it is out of an 86 fj60 I figured someof you who do not frequent the 40 section would like to see the mods.
RV cam came from these guys via MAF. http://www.elgincams.com/campaper.html
I have only driven the vehicle once but I can tell you it makes a pretty good difference.
I drilled and tapped the oil cooler bolts for a mini gage and a dummy light. Gauge came from Northern Tool ($12). Dummy gauge came from SUmmit ($18). Dummy light comes on when oil pressure gets below 20psi.
Vacuum gage was tapped into the PCV/ EGR. Northern Tool $5
Temp gauge was from Marshall. Got it directly from them. Cost was about 30-40 dollars. It was the smallest one I could find. By far the best gage I bought. I did have to tap new threads. I think they were 3/8 Npt. No drilling was needed. Note location has changed over to the hole on the right as I was having belt issues.
I went around and around about headers. I didn't want to pay $500 for a set of nice ones at the time. So I had a set of manifolds off a 3fe and had them ceramic coated for $100.
Saginaw PS pump. This is really nothing new. Got the bracket from IPOR had to modify it so it would fit on the middle water pump groove.
CS 130 1 wire alt.
Had to grind down the stock bracket and add one washer. No brainer. If your looking for simple and a way to take your stock harness out of the loop this is it. I got this 180amp alt made for me at a local alternator shop for 140 dollars.

Did the headers bolt right on with the 2F intake?

There was a little trimming of the intake but nothing you can see. Just two corners. Headers bolt up. Gasket is another story. I had to use a 2f gasket and drill two extra holes. 85-87 heads have all the holes. 84-down don't but they will still bolt up. Also I did have to machine the manifold bolt areas so I wouldn't have to use cut washers. They are really nice though. Never have to worry about them warping. Ever!

Instead of the Big Gay 2F build, you should call it "The Electric Koolaid 2F Test" Also, why no florescent colors since this seems to be about "going overboard?"
cheers.

Are you running an electric fuel pump mounted at the tank? I noticed your fuel lines are going on top of and behind the engine.
