I got a front panel which was hit in a car accident. How should I go about fixing it. I'll put up picks in a bit b/c I got to go to class. Also How do I check if the body is straight. Everything looked fine but that's only qualitative. Thanks

How expensive is it?

Hey all, I've got 2 front axles for my 71 and one of them is bent. The straight one however has old drum brakes on it and the bent one has new drums on it. How do I go about swapping these out? Is there gonna be grease everywhere? I heard the disc break conversion is the nastiest hardest thing...

A 'free' F ENGINE AND a 302 Throttlebody fuel injected with bellhousing Hey I'm new to the whole FJ scene. I have a 1980's 302 fuel injected throttlebody engine I got with an FJ purchase. Thing is I have an F engine as well which isn't in good at all an I doubt I could do a rebuild with my...

I got it. Thanks, apeterson.

Its cool. I just don't want to take off the housing and have those compressed springs pop out so I can't put them back. Thanks.

Should I take out the bolts marked with 7's on housing which is holding the springs and then the pressure plate?

Okay so I remove the flywheel by removing the pressure plate first and i remove the pressure plate by removing the bolts around the edges which a marked with 7's and are 12mm? Thanks. I have the Haynes manual but you kind of have to have exp to understand it. I completely new at this.

before i get to the pressure plate flywheel do I have to take off the bell housing? I can't find an inspection cover. Also I see two bolts on the bottom right in front of the flywheel. Are those for the oil pan or the bellhousing? Thanks

Total noob question here. How do I detach the bell housing off of an f engine? I took off the top two bolts but i think i need to find two more. I can't find em. Thanks

Can I come? I live in durham and am trying to do an fj40 build which has stagnated. It would be cool to meet some people who could help me out. THanks

Hey I'm new to the whole FJ scene. I have a 1980's 302 fuel injected throttlebody engine I got with an FJ purchase. Thing is I have an F engine as well which isn't in good at all an I doubt I could do a rebuild with my knowledge. So does anyone wanna trade a 302 for an F or 2F in good running...

Hey I'm just starting my frame up rebuild and had pulled off the front fenders, etc. And am now looking at all the body work that needs to be done in the cab. Some will have to be replaced, some possibly fiber glassed :crybaby: and some welded. I don't want to fiberglass anything but if its only...

Thanks all, I got another few questions about some body work I need to pay someone to do. So keep some heads up for that cuz I'm trying not to get screwed over on the price for my first rebuild. I'll put up the thread tomorrow when I'm not tired.

THanks, can someone tell me the threading though thanks
