I'm checking to see if anybody has a FJ62 Brake Booster I can borrow while I have mine rebuilt. The rebuilders don't have cores and none are to be found. Also can't afford a new Toyota booster. Let me know. thx matt
Took my first highway trip w/5.7 Vortec/4L60E swap. About 120 miles of Freeway, some hills. About 67 mph on the way out and about 75 mph on the way back. Still has the stock 4.11 gears. How does 18.6 mpg :D. later matt
They say that they interchange but they are different. The rear has a pinion shaft spacer. The front doesn't. If I decide to put the rear differential in the front do I need to remove the pinion spacer? thx matt
Well here goes. 5.7 Vortec was told 90,000 miles/165psi comp/19in vacuum at idle. 4L60E Trans w/Stock 4.11 gears. All in town driving. Right at 14 mpg. The best in town mileage before was about 12.5 mpg. The best part is it actually moves now. matt
Starting a new thread. Trying to get T/C working after swap. Hooked up the vacuum line and pushed the 4H button and could get nothing to engage. So I turn the switch off and was going to run an arrand and hear some noise from the front end. I pull over and find out the T/C in engaged. But now I...
Im finishing up my V8 swap and have questions about the T/C wiring etc. Needless to say the stock Auto Trans is gone along with it's wiring harness for the T/C. I'll admit I'm not the greatest with wiring. Does anyone know if the two sensors on the T/C are necessary for operation. I've got to...
Our FJ62 has your typical OME lean on the Drivers Side. So I have an extra OME Driver Side spring and decide to put it in. Still leans the same. Today I'm going to switch the springs around Passenger Side to Driver Side. Upon removal I found out that newer spring's main leaf was 3/4" longer than...
Took my 5.7 Vortec swap to Emissions tonight (Pima County) and passed with flying colors. Check out the attachment. Here lies the problem. :bang: My 1998 Vortec doesn't have the 1988 Land Cruiser air pump. A 1988 Land Cruiser has to have an Air Pump. It's got full 1998 emissions. Does anyone...

Running some final checks before I fire my Cruiser up and have a question. Can the Torque Converter clutch be locked up in a sitting position? When cranking the motor with no spark plugs in it it seems to crank hard and if it's dragging the trans internals around it could cause it to crank slow...
How would you route the passenger side exhaust pipes? I have a Ram Horn on this side. There looks to be no room down the passenger side. Fuel Lines, T/C Vacuum pod, etc. Do you drop straight down and run it under the oil pan then turn it down the Drivers side? Need some opinions and Photos would...
It looks like I sold the A440 from my swap. Upon pulling it from the motor the Convertor is painted Blue and has + and - numbers at each of the holes for the convertor bolts. Any ideas? It has my curiosity going. The purchaser wanted to pull the pan first and there was nothing in the pan and the...
It looks like the mount that comes with the adaptor can be used for parts. Anybody use a FJ62 T/C? Would like to see pictures of how you mounted the shifter. I'm going to try and get it back in the stock location. Pictures please! thx matt
