Hi All,
I have a 78fj40. I would like to install a 3B diesel and would like to keep the fj40 transmission, 1pc. transfercase and its emergency brake mechanism. Can I just switch the input shaft, clutch and bell housing from the 3B 81bj42 to 78fj40 and be done with it?
I have read other options...
As title say 81 bj42 engine and drive train going to 78fj40 frame. I need to confirm that its just a matter of transfering all the mechanicals .(+engine, transmision and transcase supports) no Biggie correct? Thanks.;)

I have a 1977 fj45 frame I am working on at the moment, the front section is rusty. I was thinking of cutting the front section and replacing it with a much solid 1978 Fj40 with disc brake. Can this be done? has anyone?, is it safe? would it pass safety inspection?. Thanks.:o
