I bought a inferno coil and dyna mod box from man-a-fre thinking it would be a simple swap. The factory coil is labeled with a - and + to indicate connections. The new one is labeled with a "dist" and "bat." The factory ignition pack has two wires that attach to the coil that are white/black...

I was having a pretty good leak coming from my oil filter bracket. That is taken care of but in the process I noticed that the relief valve is missing from the oil filter bracket. The spring is there but nothing is behind it. What the hell does the relief valve do? Right now my oil pressure...

I have a 3fE motor and I have a wicked oil leak coming from in / around my oil cooler. What is the best way to fix it? Is there an aftermarket setup that would cool my engine better without having to deal with coolant lines and the rest of that mess down there? Thanks, Andy

probably not worth it I got a "molded" rubber floor kit for my hot rod and it is so thick it doesn't fit right. After spending all that money and having it professionally installed I wish I had just put in a good carpet kit.

I am living on Oahu and I lined up everything I need (I think...)to put at 3FE motor into my 87 Toyota Landcruiser. It is a big project and my time table for doing this has gotten really ugly. Is there anyone on this island who has done this before (I will make it worth your time) or can...

Do you have any other ideas? Things get crushed pretty quick around here and I have had no luck finding one locally. Shipping will be painful though.

That wouldn't be a problem and getting it checked out would be a good idea. Let me know and we can work something out to have it looked at. I would rather spend a little more and know it is all good before mailing it. Thanks, Andy

your killing me.....

So my head is cracked and I need a new one. It is too bad to properly repair so asking for some help. I know what cruiserparts.net wants and I am sure I can get one cheaper although I will pay a fair price. Let me know what you have so I can get my baby back on the road! Thanks, Andy

Well it took me 3 full days to get everything I needed from my parts vehicle for my engine swap. I took off the upper manifold and there is oil so at the least I will pull the head and put in all new valve seals. What else should I do while I have the motor on a stand to make sure I will get...

Dammit I know this a stupid question but where can I get a FSM for my FJ62

did you find one? cuz I want one too. Hey if you located someone who has these kits let me know. Thanks. Andy

fj62 engine swap into fj60 help So the motor is going out on my FJ60. :crybaby: Had a local engine specialty place have a look at it and the word is the wrist pins are going out. Sounds like a diesel too bad it isn't... Found a FJ62 for $500 but what do i need to do to make sure the motor...

SBC Issue is with a SBC is I would want to upgrade to a 5 speed at the same time. Also what about power steering and my ac unit? I don't want to be making custom lines. How does eveyone get around this?

So the factory motor is starting to knock and I need to start looking into my options. I would love to do a 350 chevy conversion but I don't like the thought of turning my car into a total frankenstein. What are my options? Is anyone putting the FJ62 fuel injection motor in FJ60s? Whould...
