Good evening fellas,
I am purchasing my first fj40. I am new to the Toyota 4x4 scene, but have owned my fair share of old corollas. I will get pics of the fj eventually, but what I know about it: owner said it is a 1973. It has a chevy 3 speed trans upgrade, and some sort of weird diff upgrades. It is missing the top, but I have found one locally it has some slight rust damage behind the front seat but not as bad as some of the corolla's ive owned lol. To the point: It runs, but leaks oil like a sieve (from multiple places) and has a slight miss. What are the best options? I have lightly searched the forums, and found some good info, but not all of what I was looking for. Can I take the 2F out, and throw a 3fe longblock in? Will the 2f intake bolt to the 3fe head? from what I have read, the 2f exhaust will bolt to the 3fe with no issues.
Last question, is $1700 a goof price to pay for a 6.5/10 fj40?
Anyway, thanks for your time!
