| 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.   |

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. | |
