We are coming out with an 8 stud design utilizing both the upper and lower trunions. We are machining then as we speak, they should be out on a couple of weeks. They will be tested on our comp rig. Super duper turd polishing! They will be available for the large pattern first, smaller...

i have some from my 64. wayne

i have a couple. give me a call wayne

i have been working on both the 60 and the 80 cages and they will be available about the end of feb. the 60s have more head room than the 80s so fitment on the 80s is critical.i dont think hitting you head every time you get in and out is good for sales. wayne

i ran them years ago fair off road load on the road inexpensive would i run them again . no i like the interco ssr much better. wayne

could be done but might be difficult if you are running a three groove pulley due to lack of room on the surface for some good reference. i could not sell a kit if i told the person they would have to come up with a way of finding tdc and marking their balancer to set timing. wayne

woody and orangefj45 pretty much sum it up. i also include a flex plate in my kit. you will need to come up with a way of timing you motor since you will be losing the timing window and timing marks on the flywheel. wayne

did this about four years ago with a efi 2f and 700r4 in a fj60. it worked well but is very long. i built our adapter out of aluminum and it uses the stock toyota starter. the hardest part is getting the 700r4 cable to get pulled properly so you dont burn up the trans. wayne its on my...

85 FJ60 has the voltage regulator on top of the alternator. It is the square block that is on top of the alternator.

I agree some of the benefits are small but some people just like having more control of the functions of their truck.The conversion basicly turns the truck into a FJ62. As for performance I am a fan of v8 conversions and I would not personly put the money into the 6 when a v8 will give better hp...

Yes We cut and rotate knuckles on 40's and 60's. Its best to have the truck to set it to its springs and trans location. Wayne upnover.com

Dan The rims and tires will need to be changed do to the larger front and rear brakes.You will need at least 16" rims. Wayne

Dan We have used the Marks kit and found it easy to install with no machining needed. It takes about 4-5 hours for use to do and the biggest problem is getting the rusty exhaust bolts out. We have noticed better handling and braking due to less rotating mass and about a 7% increase in milage...

Woody, Two quick thoughts for you try. Check your static timing and make sure that your cats are not clogged. Also is it manual and auto? If it is auto make sure that the TV cable is adjusted properly, they are very picky and if it is not adjusted properly the trans could slip and cause a...

This can be done but you need to change the water pump because the mounting surface is different between the clutch and non clutch surface. The only time we have done this conversion is in the opposite way. We put a fan clutch in instead of taking it out. And the waterpump that you need to...
