I have a FJ55 that I am swapping engines in again. My last engine was a sbc with probably 200k + miles on it that the cam lobes had gone flat. I have a 454 from a '93 SS454 truck that has been "lightly" modified 400hp +/- according to the speed shop.
Here's my dilemma 1) I don't want to...
I have another front axle housing that I have been thinking of mocking up to check fitment and just checking out what would need to be modified. I am a welder/fabricator by trade so I'm not scared to try and swap things around, but would rather just be able to swap t-cases. Plus just not ready...
I just acquired a low mileage 1996 Mitsubishi Pajero 4M40 turbo diesel. It has the tranny and t-case driver side drop. I was wondering if anyone out there had a clue as to what model the tranny is, it's a 5 speed manual? I haven't pulled the t-case from the transmission to check the setup...
Have any of y'all swapped in a later model Toyota or GM heater core and fan assembly into an FJ40 or 55? I am looking at swapping a S-10 or 4Runner heater/ac fan, heater core , and related parts. Just wondering what the feasablity of such a swap would be. Thanks
It started snowing here so I haven't gotten to work on mine yet. I think there will be some mods to be made, but nothing too major. I haven't thought about a later FJ dash because the 4runner one was easy to come by.
Thanks for the input.
I am getting the shop ready to pull it in and give it a whirl. I am up in the Seattle area and with the constant high humidity the poor little stock defroster just has a hard time keeping up. I will try and document the swap. I am going to install the 4runner steering column as well. Thanks for...
I was wondering if anyone has swapped in a newer dash into an older cruiser? I have a dash from a '95 4Runner I amthinking of swapping into my FJ55 so I can actually have a defroster and A/C.
I was hoping someone has done this swap or something similar and might have some pointers and ideas...
Yes, but I'm already setup in the rig with the sm465/np205 and was just trying to keep from having to modify anything else outside the engine compartment. Thanks though.
I have a 1972 FJ55 with 350, SM465/NP205. I want to put a Ford motor in my cruiser, and was wondering if any of you knew if a Ford bellhousing will bolt up to the SM465?
Thanks
What did you use. I have a crossmemver from a 1990 Suburban I was going to widen and eventually fab a custom one from T6 aluminum. I just need to get the trans and t-case in the rig. Any help/info on the crossmember would be greatly appreciated.
Can anyone help with ideas or were to buy a crossmember to put a 700r4/208c into a 1972 FJ55? I have good fab skills, but no time due to work. I have no garage so I'm doing this conversion in the dirt and the rainy season is almost on me (Seattle). Any ideas to speed the process? AA doesn't have...
