So I just started my build on my 2F converting it to diesel with a 3B.
Here is a little history on the two vehicles (feel free to skip).
~History~
So I came across a 82 FJ for 1,200$ with a rod knock and decided to purchase it. It was about 150 miles away, I was heading that way to see my new nephew anyways. Called up my dad told him to bring the truck and we hooked up the dolly (yes dolly NOT RECOMMENDED), to make things worse he brought the astro van not truck or either of the other two full sized vans!
On the way down I called a guy on CL and we picked up a F.5 (1974) on the way back up (oh joy even more weight for the dolly and astro van). It's been sitting for 7 years and supposed to have around 100k we will see. I had planned on putting it in the FJ for now but plans changed
Some think I'm crazy for puting a F in a 60 but the F.5 has same torque and maybe 10-15 less HP and it came with a header so I figured it would be good.
Then I decided screw it lets do it right the first time...
BJ60 a few weeks later I was on my way up to B.C. with a hauler. brought all my importing paperwork and bought the BJ60. Rust bucket and a half decent frame though and around 160k (miles). Couldnt get fuel to the injectors so after two hours of tickering I offered 500$ I think-sold. Towed it home, still trusting it was a good engine. That night I had a dream that diesels only shut off with fuel cut off and the next day zip tied the EDIC open and fired her right up. EDIC motor works, one of the oil pressure gages was unplugged I think.
Here are the
