1991 FJ80 with 227,196 miles. The color is 045. The number on the frame matches the number on the dash and on the door. I can see a plate on the PS of the engine, but I couldn't get it clean enough to read the number. As far as I can tell, it's a 3FE. I'm asking $4,500.00 for it. The...

Thank you for the information. I've heard that before about the manuals; what can I say, I really like books! The engine looks neglected because I never drive it. A woman in my building got it (for free) from some friends, she needed money and asked me if I wanted to buy it, so I said "yes"...

Thanks! I checked the harness and it is too short to be moved back. Not saying that I wouldn't have done the same thing, but in this particular case, if that is incorrect I had nothing to do with it. I'm not sure why it's like that, to be honest. I'm going to post more pictures in a bit, but...

I am trying to find the engine number. I am trying to figure out which engine and which years so then I can limit how much of the engine to clean off to find the number. The VIN comes up as a 91, the paperwork that came with it shows 91, the door shows 91. But, the oil filter placement makes...

First off, thanks for the information. The plugs are on the PS and I was also trying to figure out if it was an 89-90 or a 91-92 body because it has a has a spot for a cooling fan. I've seen other's listed as 91's that have an opening for a cooling fan, but again, I don't want to tell anyone...

So, I'm assuming you would agree that it's a 3F-E? But how would I know if it's a 91? The engine, not the rest of it!

I gathered that much, but I should be able to verify the year from the engine number? Or not?

Yes! I suppose that is what I want to verify. Either that it's original or at least to be able to say what it is for sure. Everything indicates that it's a 91 which should have a 3FE. The door says it's a 91, the serial number indicates a 91, the firewall indicates that it's 4.0., and the...

I think I already did that-I'm just trying to make sure someone didn't pull the motor at some point in the past. The door has 91 listed as the year and that is what the VIN indicates which, according to the Chilton manual, should make it a 3F-E. I want to make sure the motor is also a 91 Land...

I could use some help finding the engine number on my FJ80. I am planning on selling it, so I'd like to make sure that it has the 3F-E engine in it before I post it anywhere. I really don't know much about these (or cars in general); I bought it several years ago from a former tenant in the...
