I would love to put a 2F in my rig. My son granaded the 1F so its sitting. I will continue looking.

The most important thing is to not over tension the belt. If you make it too tight it will ruin the bearing

That’s a real job!

I’m not really sure the build date. I do know the engine is not original to this rig. I would be happy to find the engine info next time I visit the yard it’s stored in.

No kidding. Hide your sons the gods of war are drumming. I met a guy with a scout running a cat motor. Said the swap was around 30 and he is not a guy who owns a wrench.

My budget is pretty open. I can afford to do whatever I want to and will likely do the work myself with some assistance from friends. I was actually thinking about trying to import a diesel from South America but that would be as much as a new crate motor from summit

The block is fine needs cylinders and pistons. I had the head rebuilt but would definitely do the bottom end just to be safe.

I’m looking for the best option for a good trail rig. I’d like to be able to chug over obstacles rather than have to give it the onion to avoid stalling. The only thing stock on my rig is the engine but even that has some interesting stuff going on. I was kind of hoping that someone here could...

My rig is meant for adventure. If I need to go a long distance I will trailer it. I want a motor and transmission that will be good in the rocks and also be capable of faster speeds when running between trails and such. I’m thinking about putting ford f350 axles in it so it will quit shearing...

Hi guys, I have found myself in a bit of trouble. The short version is I need a replacement engine and preferably a good 5 speed for my 69/ FJ40. I am looking for the best solution for reliabulity and could obviously use a little more power. That old 1F sure screams getting onto the freeway...

My DUI has been awesome. Just make sure that when you get spares or replacements for the internals they don’t sell you v8 stuff. That will cause the same issues discussed above. Runs but lots of misfire and extremely loud backfire.

Yes all for eBay. I carry a spare on extended trips even though it’s pretty bulletproof. Spares aren’t much but all together almost the cost of a whole distributor.

It is and it was so easy.

I broke my pinion on find and things. It was an all day trip to chase the third member from Proffits I was thankful for them though
