Hey Everybody! Forum Newb here... tip of the hat, I’m glad to have found this website and forum and appreciate you taking the time to read this.
So I bought this 1965 fj40 and wound up putting a solid running motor and tranny from a 1970 fj40 in it. Not certain if early 70, or late 70? How do I find out?
I put a pro comp 2.5” lift kit on it, with 285/75/16s. Tires fit great and don’t rub, but did develop a sort of metal rub or whine, some kind of noise, under the tub, but only on acceleration or higher rpm when shifting from 1st to 2nd, and to third, but it’s fine in 3rd and ok in lower gears not under acceleration. U joints seem ok. Does it in in two and four wheel drive.
Carb issues too. It has this Rochester on it. It s ok but needs a new kits every few years, starts flooding out. Would I have any better performance out of a Webber or something else?
How about air cleaners? Never much liked this, wouldn’t bigger be better?
Thanks all for the reply’s
