Rust free west coast straight body now located in Northern Virginia, 12v, 1987 Fj60 with 12ht h55f powertrain conversion. Second rebuilt 12ht long block, cable lockers with many useful parts (see below) -- $38k for all the above/below. If there are specific photos or questions I’ll update as this goes. As-is and I factored in buying both. I would currently not like to split the rebuilt spare HJ61 motor and cable lockers, however offers considered. It’s truly a wonderful vehicle an will put a smile on your face. The redundant parts, spare engine, etc. were for big plans. Never needed. I am currently limited to 10 pics and will look into that shortly to list a few more photos. Thank you for looking.
Highlights:
Since my ownership I’ve made minimal changes to his platform, but upgraded items throughout that either needed service or not. Religiously, maybe excessively changing the oil every 3k miles, 15w-40. Below is not a comprehensive list. There will be items not listed and I’ll try my best to answer any questions. I’ve sparingly used the vehicle over the last seven years with one significant road trip a year if possible.
I never touched the paint outside of chips or flakes I’d hit with primer. I like the sleeper look and it really never bothered me. No rust on any of the sheetmetal and frame, however surface rust on axle and leaf springs. Spare locker pair are rust free.
The engine, I was told had 180k km miles on it when purchased. I put approximately 15k miles on over the years. Fixed leaks mentioned below. The second engine came in parts, however already mentioned rebuilt with new kit from Austrailia.
I’ve written the below up from memory, however if needed I will dig in my records for specifics if needed. Obviously nothing is older than seven years below in terms of work done. I also have a copy of the 12ht service manual.

New Motor
- Rebuilt 12ht long block motor, never used. Injection pump not rebuilt nor turbo on rebuild. Have both units. The motor has never been broken in. All interior surfaced coated with engine assembly lube
- injectors from original motor. I was curious to know the status of my injectors, so I had the second set refurbished and installed in my driver. No change in performance.
