Shucks I'll give it try but I'm sure others could explain it better. There are many Landcruiser types that have FJ in their name FJ40, 43 ,45, 55, 60 and others, the F denotes engine type and J jeep type or something. In addition to add to the confusion there is the FJ Cruiser which is not...

So it is my bad, I do a have an extra 2F Intake manifold off a '83 FJ60 but not sure if that's considered early.

Edit: Didn't clearly read your wanted add, image removed so as not to cause confusion.

1) Stop calling it an FJ! B) I think some people may think of owning a classic car as an investment but with these vehicles it's unlikely to be a profitable one in the sense of income. III) If you like the 40, want to keep it and understand you are probably not going to make money off it then...

Oh yeah forgot about that, guess my rig wasn't in good enough shape back when I used to go out there to notice any ill effects. I can see why you might not want to get that stuff on your 40.

Looking good and congratulations on reaching a milestone! Getting it running, moving and stopping is so satisfying. I'm a little behind you on my project and a 2F swap differs greatly from an LS one but looking forward to when I also can take the 40 over Donner Pass again. With the performance...

Not to be negative but I have read posts where people have had issues with the glass or plastic fuel filters cracking over the exhaust manifold and having fires. I recommend you relocate your fuel filter.

I'm not a fan of numbers and I recycled my CAD (Cardboard Aided Design) template but fitting involved basic mounting point measurement and then fitting and drilling to those points after fabrication. Material was 5/16" x 2" mild steel which bent well and was easy to drill but could support the...

Still in the getting it back on the road phase but it hasn't bugged me sitting in the passenger seat in the garage. Seems like plenty of leg room and I also converted from bench seats so passenger didn't have the sliding seat option to start with. I will say I like the look of the Procar 90...

Thanks I'm rather proud of how they worked out. Ended up making the mounting brackets myself and using the Corbeau slider just for the driver side. Doing it this way I was able to get the passenger side over the gas tank as low as the driver side, really wanted them the same height. Here is...

The Mud collective pointed towards the throttle return spring and sure enough adding a spring to the bellcrank was the fix for Sudden Acceleration Syndrome. Took the rig for a celebratory drive back and forth in the tiny yard, no issues with the clutch or shifting is a win! Got the air filter...

Well there you go added a couple springs and issue resolved! Guess since I'm running the cable to linkage the linkage needs a way to be pulled back otherwise the mighty 2F just sucks the butterfly valves open. :p Thanks for the reality check guys, check the simple stuff first. I'll figure out...

Here's a picture of the bellcrank in place (came a little bent) before restoration and one of it not installed and painted. It looks like there is a place a spring could go, I'll give that a try as well as some carb cleaner to try and free things up.

Ha, yep spelling has never been my strong point. Linkage and cable. Brand new stock '69 cable running to a linkage to cable bellcrank from a '76 then linkage to a stock '83 carb from a 60 series. I dredge up some pictures and get some new one with good lighting. I agree seems like a bad, weak...

The latest issue in my 60/40 Project: The good news I've started up my 40 for the first time in 21 years! 2F swap with stock carburator and most other swappable items from a running '83 FJ60. Adjusted the valves, aimed the distributer at the #4 cylinder, primed the gas, couple cranks didn't...
