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.
