That housing looks the same as mine which is cool. Sheet metal i could be wrong I but think they went to plastic and larger after ‘73 But yea idk why mine is a 6 bolt. Unless it was messed with in the passed. Either way, Any bolt type I can make work, it’s just trying to find blower motor that...

haha so here’s my blower housing. As you can see it’s all chewed up. I grinder off rust. But this housing has like a 6 bolt motor and it’s made of sheer metal. It’s also significantly smaller than the plastic 3 bolt housing I see online. the plastic 3 boots housing do not fit on my early ‘73...

11 years later and I’m adding to this thread! Hah can someone helped me with the above thread? I have 68-73 sheet metal blower motor housing.Anyone know what blower motor will fit it?

Thank you all. i recently ordered a 373HP Chevy 350 crate from blueprintengines.com with a holley sniper. I figured with the sniper kit, I’m @ at least 400HP more than I want or need. Will my stock fj55 drive train be ok? I’m on 33” Tires.

No that’s ok. That’s actually the whole reason I’m putting the ‘84 gears in because I want the 3.70 ratio. I’m using a TH350 3 speed trans in my fj55 and want good highway gearing. (I’m not wheeling this) I’m reading that I can drill my own holes or buy a multi hole flange. So that answers my...

Hmm Interesting. But wait, why can’t I take the flange off my ‘55 third member and put it on the 60 series third member??

Ahhh ok I I got a 73. Just missed it the triple drilled flanged off trail gear will work?

possible to get more info on this? Im about to put fj60 third members in my fj55 So I can’t take my 55 flange and put it on the 60 third member?? where can I buy a flange that fits?

Thanks again I found a truck for $400 with a good 5.3 LS and 4l60e. Ordered the adaptors off advance adaptors too 👍🏻👍🏻 back the driveline question again, should I keep my stock axles? I was thinking of making hybrids but I’m not super knowledgeable on this.... keep my housing and axles...

Thanks guys. I believe anything before 1978 is 4.11 course spline so I think I have 4.11 and I have 33’s i’d like to be able to do 75mph ok With the 3 speed. But i think I have the funds do LS swap if I decide that. 😬😬 I think my last question, is what are most people doing for the T-case if...

cool, that’s helpful. I didn’t know if changing my axles was overkill or not for my purpose. I’ll keep them. I seriously have been going back and forth for days about whether I should do LS swap or not. I just bought the fj55. And it’s in great shape. If I don’t do LS, I like the sniper idea...

Hello All, i have a stock ‘73 FJ55 with a worn out Chevy 350 and Chevy 3 speed trans. im considering LS swap with LS trans. QUESTION: Do I really need to upgrade axles & Gears? I will NOT be using this off road, other than the beach. It will be a street cruiser. Second question: im also...
