Alright guys, as you know my 2f engine with 80,000 miles died due to oil leak. I was holding out for another 2f as you guys said however, I have a dilemma. I was just given a 1968 fj40 (entire truck) and paid $400 for entire thing. Engine is great, frame is shot and tub is shot. I know you all said to not go backwards but this was pretty much free. It comes with 3 speed and gear box. I want to transplant this 1f into my rig with 4 speed that I curently have and slowly tear down and redo the 2f as time and money permits. What isues will I run into? I know the 2f and 1f are same dimension on the outside, but will it marry to my 4 speed and also will it fit with current fly wheel etc.,
Once I am done I will part out this rig and get my money back (I hope).
I know this is frowned upon (going backwards to a 1f) but this was a deal I could not pass up. Engine has 137 - 140 for compression Pretty good for old engne with 52,000 miles on it.
