Hey guys.
Anyone know if a 13BT exhaust manifold will fit on a B diesel?
I should add, that I am wanting to add a turbo to my B engine. I was going to pull it andmoth ball it, but considering it was rebuilt 3 years ago, I am thinking of attempting to add a turbo prior to me dropping in a new...
I think it was originally an FJ as the title reads Gasoline, the PO bought it from Costa Rica and i know know much about the vehicle history. The PO bought the truck with the B Series in it and then had it rebuilt 2 years ago.
if i go diesel, i am still leaning towards the 1KZ. A Petro engine...
I am located in the Eastern US and I am getting ready to pull my engine. I have been looking for a new motor. I was/am still heavily considering a 1kz, but I am not sure if it will have enough power for me. I like the idea of having a diesel, but I am not committed at this point. Mostly...

I have a 1980 FJ40 with a B series Diesel Engine that someone over the past 40 years installed. i just picked this beast up 2 weeks ago. I am looking to complete an engine swap and i am curious if anyone has seen a list of engines that will be direct replacement engines? I am hoping to...
So instead of saying that I have an "FJ40", I should say that I have an "FJ40 Diesel"?
I am new here and new to this car, purchased 2.5 weeks ago, so I am learning the lingo. Also, I suspect, based on your comment, that this vehicle likely came with a petrol engine when it was first built?
Hey RoscoFJ73.
My 1980 has the exact same diesel engine as that spoken about int his forum and my Toyota B engine is experiencing the exact same symptoms.
Thanks.
Alex.
What was the story on you engine? I am having the exact same issue, not on start up, but when going up hills. My first drive home from the PO went great. 50 miles, no problem. 3 days later and my 1980 FJ40 won't make it up a neighborhood hill.
Thanks
Ha.
That was it. The body must be misaligned or bend. There are indeed spacers behind the striker. Now I just need to figure out how to realign the body.
Thank you for the quick reply
First, I want to say that I am VERY impressed by your build. I think this thread is amazing and I could not stop reading it. Thank you for sharing and posting.
Being a complete novice at swapping engines, I am still looking to move forward with a 1KZ-T or TE swap. The only piece that makes...

I have been reading the forums a lot over the past several weeks as i recently picked up a 1980 FJ40 with a 4 cylinder b diesel.
I have a lot of things that i want to do with this 40, but i am gathering information now so that i can begin to acquire the parts.
My 40 came with...
