After a laundry list of repairs following CMCC '10 I've decided to take on a 2fe build. I started the weekend with a bad knock in the motor and while I left with a running truck I also left with a burnt clutch (thanks to "milkshake"), bent drive shaft, and some body damage.
I was going to replace with a 2f I bought 'rebuilt', but turned out someone did a poor job or rebuilding it and I found a bunch of metal shavings in the motor and all the bearings were shot. Soooo I picked up a 1988 fj62 that runs good, but was beat hard and put up wet.
Ultimate goal is: 2fe / sm465 / lc 3speed transfer.
Right now I'm in the processing of raising funds by selling some of my spare parts and collecting the rest of the parts I need.
I have two '77 2f engines and the running 3fe. I know I need to have flat top pistons, one of the 2f blocks I have is in good shape and just needs a good hone. Is there any reason I can't use the '77 block and swap in the flat top pistons from the 3fe???
