    Anyone Considering a Cummins R2.8 w/ HF55 Swap?

    George, It has been slow going between work and money to spend. I am working on the cooling package now I have a 4 core direct replacement radiator and after straightening out the support it fit just fine with the new shroud and 16 e fan and mounted a Frostbite intercooler on the support. Then...

    Anyone Considering a Cummins R2.8 w/ HF55 Swap?

    I drove up from Riverton to meet Steve at Overland Cruisers. I bought his conversion for the H55F and split transfer case and the mounts. I had my 2F flywheel resurfaced in town and got a HD clutch out of Australia that is a Terrain Tamer product through Cruiser Brothers. I have it...

    Cummins r2.8 swap, 1975 FJ40

    I have been doing a lot of looking on the over heating issues. I have a 4 core direct replacement radiator, and ordered it with a shroud and 16 Spall electric fan. But have seen on line that the electric fans just don't cut it so I have a 18" mechanical fan kit coming and V8 fan shroud. I...

    Builds Cummins R2.8 in 2nd gen 4Runner

    Looks like it was a worth while project and the main thing is you are happy with it. I have my R2.8 in my 1978 FJ40 with the H55F and split transfer case. Between work and trying to figure out what is next it has slowed way down.

    BJ42 sprung over, best springs to use?

    Try Alcan Springs in Grand Junction, CO. They made a set of springs for my build.

    New H55 5 speed …is this normal shifting?

    In cold weather try putting the transfer case in neutral and put the transmission into gear and let it idle and when you leave the oil will be warmed up.

    Today I took the radiator and the intercooler out of the support and trimmed the angle iron and hit it with a wire wheel and painted the support. Checked the support studs and they were square with the bottom of the support then looked closer at the the mounts on the frame and they were...

    I have spent the last two days working on the cooling stack. The radiator support was badly tweaked so that to get it as straight as I could. Fitted the support and radiator with the shroud. The radiator is a 4 core and the shroud is for the spall fan. Bought new pads and hard ware for...

    I have a 4 core replacement for the stock FJ40 radiator so it sorta fits in the radiator support after some tweaking. I will have to make the hole for the drain valve bigger so that it does not hit and can be used. I got some 2.5 x 2.5 angle iron and started attaching it to the radiator...

    I just got the kit that Classic Cruisers sells and was also told to turn the seat mounts around will give another 1.5" of leg room.

    With the mods like power steering and completely changing the steering I am not sure what it will be like to drive when it is done. I don't remember hitting my head or my knees getting in and out. But I have not driven it since 1991 when I was in my 30s and now I am 65.

    My fabrication skills have really degraded in the last 30 years but that looks like a better way to go. My radiator support is tweaked from hitting the F350. But I was able to get all of the bolts in the holes. I have a intercooler from Summit and looks like a good size from top to bottom and...

    I am 6'-3" and at work I am always finding pipes to hit my hard hat on. When I went up to Montana to get my adapters Stephen asked my what I was doing driving a FJ40. I told him that head room was not a problem but being to close to the fire wall was an issue with the gas pedal. I am going...

    Wanted FJ40 Radiator Support Bracket with angled support rod mount and support rod

    I am also looking for the radiator screen for a 1978 I don't know what is so special about the 78 but I can find earlier or later.

    I was working on my new radiator and got it and the shroud mounted to the frame and started working on mounting the intercooler. It is 3" thick and I don't thing the bib will engage the bolts on the aprons before it hits the intercooler. Did you have to move your radiator toward the motor?

    Your progress is looking good. I like the hoist for the top. I would still hit my head on the tubs that go into the tub. My rafters in my barn are over 16 feet so it would work with out me hitting my head.

    Differences between '74-'80 4 speed and an '84 4 speed. Interchange?

    I was able to have all the needed parts for the hand brake on the output shaft of the split case when I ordered it.. So the needed parts are available.

    I think I Need Higher Gears w/o Changing Ring and Pinion.

    You are correct but I make a living looking and measurements and doing the math. Trust but verify.
