Anyone used the CA CARB compliant Flowtech headers 91832-1FLT in a 62 with a 5.7L SBC? Any clearance issues? I can't find any used ramshorns from 1995-2000 5.7s or any compliant replacementes.

Well after delays resulting from buying a bad engine and transmission the build is loping along. Got the 700R transmission rebuilt and upgraded with high output pumps, wider band etc. AA TC kit installed. Still waiting for the engine. Just completed the OME heavy suspension upgrade. Very easy...

I can't get the transfer case to separate from the transmission. All the bolts are out. Do I have take the stop nut off of the main shaft? Doesn't that set all the insides free? I've even hung the thing form the cherry picker to try to get it loose but no dice. I'm told it should slip right off...

Got photos started. My band plays today so I'll post pics later.

Have to get done before Aug. 1st when all the seasons start. My F250 is too long and too heavy for the roads and I don't trust my CJ7. 1976 CJ7 is for sale BTW. Almost restored but Helga comes first.

10 years in the planning and finances. I'm the second owner. I got her in 2004 with 170,000 on it. Now has 331,000. She's a California car and has only 2 small spots of rust in one rear wheel well. She was clear coated and under coated by the first owner. My 4 year search for her really paid...

OK to post. there's a 62 on Craigs list down here with 5.0 chev v8 for $2000.00 in Hayward,. 1988 Land Cruiser - great family car, only 2 owners!!

Given what '62s are being advertised for I'll need to drive this one for a while or I'll lose too much money on it. I need a daily driver as well as a crawler evenentually. Thanks Dave

BTW the cruiser has a full tow package with a 6 pin controller and 4 pin inline as well. I tow my 18 ft travel trailer with it.

Hmmmm. If I hadn't dropped so much cash on this one in the last year. I can't do my own work anymore because of the back. Not a biggy just expensive. Is there a hard top for it? Is it automatic tranny?

250K. The lift on the 40 looks pretty radical for what I need. I understand the trade value but I think I'll keep looking. Thanks TD

Pics of '89 FJ62 Helga. PICS. Also have 6' X 4' Confer roof rack.

I'll take some tonight. What's the transmission?

'89 FJ62 stock in Bay Area? Champagne/brown. CD/MP3/Satellite. Great body, great interior, new carpet to be installed. Good tires, new engine seals, brakes, radiator, alternator, smog pump. 2nd owner, 1st owners were family skiers. Daily driver. I'm new at this so I hope it works OK.
