Wow after all that POSER was right.... ? Haha. Nice!

I know this swap has been done to death but I have not seen a thread on the least amount of lift you can get from a SOA. It seems people do it to get lots of lift. I am trying to do one now and am going to use the shortest shackles possible in hopes to keep low considering the spring over. I...

Yha gag me with a spoon Daniel. Just looking for some advice so the job gets done right.I have checked old posts and I have the original manual just looking for tricks or tips on making the old pig go together right. Rock out with your :censor: out.

Ok. I have a 77 FJ40. I have the exhaust and intake manifolds all disassembled cleaned, new fasteners from SOR and a rimflex gasket. This is my first time putting this config together but I am not green to motor assembly. I would like to know any tips or things to look out for on this...

I left and old AMC 360 out in a snow storm with no intake and plugs for weeks. It was full of water and rusted shut. I filled the cylinders with ATF waited a week put a large breaker bar on the crank pulley bolt and snapped the seal. Ran great for 2 years with about 15 lbs of oil pressure. Who...

I will be going to oz to scatter my mothers ashes back home and planned to buy just that truck. Diesel/turbo etc.. I hate to ask but what am I going to have to be prepared to pay. Truck and shipping Thanks.

OK I have got the whole assembly off and broke no bolts on the head. F@%k Yha! But I did break a couple on the exaust flange and intake to exaust and the pretty much all the bolts a f-d up. Where can I get a whole new bolt set up they look very specific so I doubt I can go to my local bolt...

Thanks for all the info folks. I have some rusty bolt syndrome and this task is looking harder all the time. I got the sinking feeling I am going to have a couple break off. Lame. Yhis thing seems to have many leaks. I wonder if I smell a sbc. I dont want to but I think a cans of worms has been...

remflex thanks. I guess I should get all apart before I go buy anything, the sound is coming from underneath the intake but above the exhaust so it could be a crack but I hope not! Would be an excuse for some performance parts but I am trying to do this on a small budget so I can have cheap fun...

Sorry 2f gasoline

It seems I have one. Has anyone done this that can tell me the do's and donts and what to look out for? Also should I look into a performance replacement or do the stock ones do just fine? Cheers

Nice work! I am doing a 4" downey lift right now on a 77 fj and am curious as to what billy shocks you used ie part# and length. Also have you flex tested it t see how they ride and work? Cheers
