well fellas, finally got the motor, tranny, and tcase to the shop. Dam this 5.8 liter is a huge motor. I think it will move the with ease. I haven't really got much done on the pig since school started and exams are about to start. School will end may 1, but that is when the tear down of my fj40 begins, once that is done, proably about 3 weeks. Then in JUNE, the pig project starts back up! Stay tuned!!!

Hey fellas i know it's been awhile since i posted any updates, dam almost a year!!!

But, i'm pickin up another fj40 before december to use the motor out of. I'm scratchin the ford motor, its just too big and i just wanna stick with the stock toyota inline 6. Mainly because the fj40 i'm getting is a 71 model with 65,000 original miles from original owner. And it's got a working 8274 winch on it, not currently running and it's completely torn apart, but its good deal.

BTW if anyone is interested in this 71 fj40 minus motor, Let me know!! Floors are a bit rusty and rear corners have some rust, but its definetely restore quality.

Anyway, the new plan is to use the f motor out of the fj, TBI it with gm parts, Sm465 with 205. So a pretty big change in direction but IMO much easier for me. I'm in college so i get a 1 month break during chrismas.

Goal to achieve during my break from school are the following:
-Put the motor in the pig, i will tbi it later
-get the trans and tcase/ crossmember all fabbed up and installed
-Put rear dana 70 in with fj55 leafs
-Hopefully find a dana 60 by then for the front!!
-Do some bumpers and maybe even bob the rear!!
-Get some steering done

Thats enough for me, hopefully i'll get some wrenchin done in about a month, hope to be back soon with some updates!! Later ya'll
