My mechanic. I brought it to Valley Hybrids in Stockton. Btw he has an engine but while he verifies that it’s a good engine I am also trying to source one. Then based on costs I’ll decide my next steps
Well you could rebuild it but as I do some diligence it sounds like the rebuild costs as much or more than just buying a new one and swapping. Not too many people rebuilding them either.
So, it looks like my 2H may have seen better days. I know where to find a few and I’m pretty sure I understand how much it’s going to cost to swap etc.
If any good threads exist about HJ Troopy to EV conversions, please share links. I’m interested but not fully invested.
Thanks
Hey @duncanrm I am curious, as I was looking at my manuals, I noticed the Injector Pump is a Nippon Denso, the manual for the H shows a Bosch type or an RU but neither is my ND unit. The reason this caught my eye is as I learn more about the fuel system, I was wondering if I need to add or...
I think I would be on the same boat, I would take the power train and not much else that might be interesting to other EV fans or Resto fans. I could even envision phased mods like get the power train done and slowly change or add nice EV features. I have an HJ45 now which is all stock, I...
I am curious where this went. BTW if anyone has a part number and source for the Oil Pressure Sensor on an H I’d appreciate it, I am not having luck finding a part number.
I made some good progress today and a small mistake. All sorted but here are the photos again:

Folks, I had some challenges getting my fuel system bled but here's is an update 1979 HJ45 H engine:
I finally got both filters bled (one aftermarket with sight glass), I also bled at each fuel rail connection. I...
awesome response, this is what I was hoping to gather. I have my Diesel which will never (cross my fingers) be a donor, but I have spotted a few along the way and have considered it. I may contact directly for some guidance, for instance how much can I de-ICE and hand off a clean ready car...
Good to know transfer case wouldn’t behave that way, frankly I was just imagining what it could be but since shifting is happening I doubted my theory.
So I’ve got 2 fuel filters one (aftermarket) is definitely new, the stock filter looks very clean but I’ll get a replacement anyway I bought...
That’s kinda what I’d like to know. I could do this with used Tesla motors and batteries so I’m curious the difference because these guys are lot more refined then I would be.
That’s a pretty standard cost I’ve seen on a few places, I was kinda curious if there are added costs just to adapt the FJ’s to make them ready. I’ll look at the site though, maybe 49k is all in.
Thanks and keep posting your photos on IG!
Transfer Case Newb:
Hey guys I had been told by a mechanic ages ago that my transfer case might be on its last legs. 4 yrs later and daily driving it finally may have gone bad but I’d like to confirm.
Started, idling I can hear clicks but this is in neutral. In gear I can go into any gear...
