Looking for that perfect engine for that FJ-40? I have a 2003 GM Vortec engine that has been adapted using an Advance Adapters conversion to a stock, rebuilt 1969 FJ-40 Transfer Case, with a completed harness and motor mounts/cross member ready to go. Unfortunately, I cant continue this project...

thank you! that helps very much

Does anyone here have stock perches and hangers for sale or know of a good site to get them? I was originally gonna raise them up slightly to give the cruiser a little bit of a lift, but I felt that would be a little too stilt-like. I know CCoT has them but I've been a little skeptical of...

hey funkytown40! i like it! Im sorry to say I havent made much progress lately seeing as my workspace got invaded :/. Im hoping to get everything moved over to a new garage soon and get things rolling once again! Hows your project coming?

yep left everything the same. Like I said, I needed to re-enforce the square mount as soon as it was shaped because it's edge came just about to the edge of the stock mounting flange, but that was about it. That sucks about the pic n pull, I'm surprised they wont let you pull of just the brake...

Engines and all their crazyness ok so i was searching on what to do for the engine and after bounching around the idea of rebuilding the stock F engine or just doing a chevy conversion i decided when i was searching craigslist one day to throw in a Generation three 5.3L vortec chevy and advance...
