    California engine swap

    Thanks for all the info. Keep it coming. I'll be going to the junk yard sometime this week to look for possible engines. My budget isn't that big maybe 4-5k give or take, also since I'm still sorta new at this stuff a engine that'll be easy to install would be best. Another thing on my mind is...

    I need an engine

    @Cruiserdrew thanks for all that info, very helpful. I do have a friend that j lives here in California but also has a Arizona ID. How would I register it in another state? Would I need to have it towed over there and have the DMV look at it? If I have it registered in Arizona with my friend...

    I need an engine

    So I found an engine from a '84 fj60 that a 2f. All parts seem to be there, the owner told me he bought the truck for parts and the plugs were cut and he doesn't have the keys also doesn't know the condition of the motor. I will be going to take a look at it this Saturday. If the engine is in...

    I need an engine

    what would be a good price for a good running 2f vs a decent 2f motor that needs some work. I dont know much about engine pricing. on craigslist i found a 2f that was just rebuilt 30 miles from where i live, the guys selling it for $1800
