    8x Series V8 Swaps

    So I think you need to have the battery ground to the block and the ground distribution block connected only to the engine block and not back to the battery directly. Is that what you figure? Funny think is I am exactly at this moment planning the same idea of using a ground distribution...

    8x Series V8 Swaps

    Just a different approach to connecting a 4L60e 4x4 transmission to the HF2A transfer case. So I need to have a spline shaft made up to connect the two. It's something I want to take on as a challenge and is actually similar to that NV4500 adapter except they were able to cut spline into the 2wd...

    8x Series V8 Swaps

    Thanks, I'll check into them. I sent out feelers to Dutchman Axles in Idaho because the did really nice work for the NV4500 adapter. My project needs 19 spline Toyota male and 27 spline GM female and I think the setups are quite different for cutting female splines. I have also contacted Hayes...

    Hey guys, can anyone recomend a machine shop that can cut Toyota and GM splines for a custom spud shaft? Bonus points for being in Canada but not necessary.

    Fantastic write up, thanks. I do believe you will never misplace your truck. Thanks for al the great photos, the engine looks right at home in there, and your exhaust is monumental! I hope you can post a photo of the exhaust from the under side to show the way you routed it all.

    8x Series V8 Swaps

    Yeah thanks, I kinda know that it's gotta go where it's gotta go. I would like to know height wise how I'm at compared to a stock. If I was low or close then I could get more room w a car intake and raise it up. If I was already high then I would leave the height and try something else. It would...

    8x Series V8 Swaps

    Hey guys, has anyone ever measured the stock front pulley location with respect to the frame rails? If I had access to a stock engine in frame if would try something like this with two right angles or mayb a right angle and a level. It would be nice to document height and left/right offset.

    8x Series V8 Swaps

    Interesting, I wonder if the adapter is still part of the transmission fluid circuit? Are you supposed to use grease on the stub shaft splines?

    8x Series V8 Swaps

    Hey, I'm researching an LS swap. I was looking at how the toyota adapter housing has an alignment bearing and shares the same fluid with the transmission to lube the bearing and the spline shaft coupling. How does the conversion deal with lubricating the shaft coupling? is there a bearing in the...

    Ignition switch

    Hey flaa1a, I am no expert, but I am trying to figure out my wiring at the moment as well, so I thought I would look at this with you. I was referring to this 71 fj40 wiring diagram, assuming your signature correct and you have a '71. I don't believe it makes sense that your fj could have...

    Hello!

    Hey Geordie, I'm still around. I mostly lurk and search on this board. I have been busy in the garage trying to finish my FJ-40 project. The frame has been sitting in there, project stalled all winter. I got inspired and really want to have it running as soon as I can. I'm in for a "meeting"...

    My Saginaw Power Steering Swap

    Hey John, It looks like you did not remove the front spring hanger. I can't see how you could weld that portion of the lower scab plate that is sandwiched beside the spring hanger. Do people weld just the top and then only part of the bottom?

    Cross member to stop frame flex??

    Hey Mace, have you done this? Would you weld the entire seem, or stitchwork, like 4" by 4"? Does any one else have experience, good or bad with this idea?

    Frame Welding / Boxing

    For those that have welded the inner and outer frame channels together, did you weld the entire length, or 'stitch' them like inch and a half intervals? I know you would not weld one long bead at a time to avoid heat warping. Also did you box the rear? How much stiffness was in just boxing the...

    Greasable Birfs

    I think the manual calls for a 5K lube service to the birfs. Does that mean fill the square plug or dismantle the birf and grease it?
