In the middle of a project and deciding which way to set up engine and front springs and axles and pinion angles, etc...
What are the weights of the OEM LONG blocks for the:
Traditional gasoline 6 cylinder engine
3BT or 3B engine
6H engine
HZ engine?
Thanks!
It's been a while but working...
I think you need to restomod the engine. There was about 8 years ago a guy who rebuilt the crap out of a 2F. I suggest you read his posts under something like "Big Gay Rebuild" (seriously). Either that OR go with flat pistons and add a turbo. I would suggest running 8:1 compression and using an...
I worry about your statements as the whole Ford/Firestone saga started because Ford told buyers to inflate to 20 PSI despite the fact that Firestone listed 30PSI as the preferred pressure. Combined with Ford's weakened A-arms, many people had blow-outs with roll overs and roof collapse. Some...
So, decided that I can't find time to work on the 1976 pig I bought from Kraig Hamady 3 years ago.
Not a sad story though.
Pig was gathered up and sent to Justin at Redline Cruisers.
I bought an HDZ which will be turbocharged and connected back to its original 5 speed and water injected. Then...
JDM vehicle. 1981 BJ-44.
Alternator went south.
What are the parts numbers for the brushes and what are the parts numbers for the bearings??
And of course... who has them?
TIA
You are a hippy, longhaired, Liberal, Communist agitator!
I have always wondered about the HARD tops. Soft Tops are cheaper to get made at any auto interior shoppe.

For a time when I drag raced my 1966 GTO, I used to place thin brass screening between my carb and my manifold. I was turbocharged so the air resistance was not important (and my competition sucked so a 7-10% loss in flow was acceptable). I was worried about turbo pieces getting into the engine...
I'm very interested in your units for my 24 Volt Japanese BJ-44 RHD, BUT I am worried about Coolerman's salt issue post. Not only do they salt the roads here in NYC, I also drive to Montreal where they paint the streets with salt, AND I live by the Atlantic Ocean, so the air is full of salt...
So, now the little (and not so little) things begin...
I need to place the new-to-me springs into the car to raise her 3", and then I will run 35" tires. and re-gear the speedo. (Any sources on speedo plastic gears and what ratios I will need to change to?)
I have not decided on the new rims...
The engine runs fast and the diaphragm is torn, but I forget the part number and the sources to get a new one... Where can I get a 2B or 3B diaphragm part in that area that controls idle. Also, what is the name of the part.
EDIT - Diesel diaphragm is Denso part number 090580-0041. Source is...
Been a while.
Turns out the smoking 2B engine was not blown... I had new clutch placed and new glow plugs...
Glow plugs were the culprit... Now no smoke except a small amount at the stink pipe.
I have 2 3B engines that were gonna be rebuilt and at the ready. Now I only need one for the fj-55...
E-Bay is your friend...
Just look for similar FJ's and copy the listing numbers and the final sales values once auctions are completed. The listing numbers can be used as proof of what the other vehicles sold for. Also print or save each auction as after 90 days E-bay deletes the auctions.
Use...

I hate right hand drive.
How many out there have converted a vehicle to left hand drive? What exactly did you do and what exactly did you need?
Any really good threads on this? I couldn't find any but I'm not the best at searching.
