    Alternative to a Winch - Front Bumper Storage?

    It has been some time since I made this. I believe I used existing holes in the frame. The rear angle has studs welded to it going through the frame to nuts but you could just bolt it. You may have to drill holes. I haven't had any cooling problems with a 2F engine.

    Early F carburetor questions

    Years ago I used to run a 69 head on an early block. I don't recall any major problems doing it. Gained better breathing at higher rpms and less burnt valves.

    STEEL-IT paint. Anyone use?

    A friend who was a painter for a local industry provided some for a trailer we were building out of old steel shelving about 10 or more years ago. I thought it worked and held up well. We put a coat of rust doctor on it and then used steel it as I recall. I sold the trailer about 2 or 3 years...

    Identify these heads/intakes/carbs

    I ran a 69 head on a 65 block for many years before going to a 2f. I noticed better breathing at the higher end. I think you should be able to use the newer head on the early block as long as the head uses the copper tube to bring oil to the rockers.

    Just purchased FJ55, bad shape, now what?

    I would sure try to free up the F before pulling it. I believe one way is to pull the spark plugs and put a little Marvel Mystery Oil in each cylinder and let it sit a few days and then see if it will move. There is info on this board on this and I am pretty sure others will supply more info.

    90 Day LV Build

    Rob; You can't let the LVertible die, just add some more duct tape and baling wire and it will be all good.

    CB reccomendations?

    CB's can be had for little or nothing and can be used in an open 40. If someone is desperate enough to steal it it is no big deal.
