    I picked up a few things. I won't be able to work on this again until mid-February, so I'm trying to get everything in line. I am going with a 3-core aluminum radiator. This is a little bigger than the stock radiator for the OM617.

    I'm going to use these for the front motor mounts. I have designed my mounts to be similar to many 350 swaps, a very simple design. These will sit on a rubber bushing that will bolt to the frame. The only downside is that the mounts on the OM617 are off-set on the engine, so I had to set the...

    I've got some work done to the frame. Got everything cleaned and under coated. After Christmas, I'm going to start putting things together.

    It appears that the SOR bushings are the same width as the FJ40, I haven't put anything together, because I've been doing some frame cleanup and modifications before putting everything together.

    I'm interested in seeing these SOR bushings, because they factory FJ60 bushing and spring combination is 1/4" wider than the FJ40.

    1969 OM617 Diesel FJ40

    Ran into a minor snag. Been trying to get creative on mounting the FJ60 springs in the rear. I have FJ60 springs on the rear of my '74 FJ40 and went a different direction than most people. I used FJ60 pins and widened the front hanger by removing the rivets to accept the wider springs. The...

    I don't want to disappoint, but this build will be slow. I only get a couple of weeks a year to hammer out this project. I live and work in Idaho and my only work space is in Nor Cal.

    1969 OM617 Diesel FJ40

    Ok, I've got a few concerns now. I'm running an SOA on this rig, so I shouldn't have issues with my oil plan hitting the front diff, correct? This is the recommendation from 4x4Labs, and all I've seen so far (I stopped by 4x4Labs last year to buy my adapter). I also made my own transmission...
