FJ40

Always looking for great cruisers, it is an addiction. Can't say that I am looking for a new woman but it would be cool to find a woman with a sweet cruiser.

It is a difficult time to sell a rig - a good time to buy a rig.

I'm in the market for a 40 and looked at yours but with it being a buyers market I'm pretty picky right now.

Best of luck to ya!

I just dropped 3300.00 on a 73 FJ40 that is 100% original. I wanted a rig just like yours, but they are hard to find in kansas. I will let some of the guys know about this deal.

Price is good, but tough seller's market. Nice rig, it'll sell, wheel it in the meantime!

I saw this post you did a little while ago regarding your motor. I'm wondering if the motor is still "bad" like you said.

3F or 3FE into FJ40

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have searched this topic and not found to much info, so here goes.
Like many people i'm on a budget, my 81 FJ40 has a "bad" 2F engine.

Rather than buy a new/ rebuilt 2F am i better off buying a used 2F or are there any benefits to the 3F engine? I have no problems with making new engine mounts etc (cheap fab stuff) if i end up with a better product.

If anyone has any thoughts or know's where i can get a good engine in the Denver CO area please let me know!

Thanks in advance
