    Smog pump??

    The smog pump has numerous fan blades inside. If one of them fails (breaks) it makes the clicking sound you are hearing. The smog pump should not be oiled and if your Power Steering pump leaks, the fluid drips onto the smog pump and will cause the smog pumb to fail. I bougth a replacement...

    yet again, vortec Q's...

    I've been advised to install at least two inches of lift to insure the 350 oil pan clears the front axle. Is that true?

    yet again, vortec Q's...

    I assumed that I would have to customize the driveshafts and fabricate a tranny crossmember. I'm thinking out loud here...swapping the entire GM drivetrain including the transfer case eliminates the need to buy another adapter. I'm not sure how much that saves me in $ but the cost saving...

    When you did your swap, did you consider keeping the GM tranfer case? If so, why did you choose to keep the Toyota transfer case?

    Yeah yeah another f$%^ing v8 question

    The Vortex 350 EFI engine was installed in 96' and younger GM trucks. That is a strong and reliable engine. I have decided to install one in my 86. I am taking it a step further, purchasing the tranny and transfer case. I don't do any crawling...just hunting and fishing and pulling the boat...

    Brakes won't lock up

    My tires are 31x10.50. Not that big. I have had this problem a long time. I've replaced just about everything in the brake system. Within the past six months I replaced the front calipers and pads, and the rear shoes. Over the past few years I replaced the Booster, front hoses and Master...

    Brakes won't lock up

    I'm a member of the Texas LandCruiser Club here in Houston. I'll try one of the other members at the next meeting and compare.

    Brakes won't lock up

    No extra braking by pumping. The emergency brake works fine. But...I've never tried to "lock up" the rear brakes.

    Brakes won't lock up

    I replaced and adjuster the rear brakes but I don't know what a LSPV is... I'll look it up in the repair manual and give that a try.

    Brakes won't lock up

    The brakes on my 86 FJ60 are dangerous! They stop the wagon, but you need a lot of space. I can't get them to lock up no matter how hard I depress the pedal. I have replaced the master cylinder, calipers, pads and booster. Still sorry brakes. Any ideas?

    engine conversions?

    My 2F in the 86 FJ60 is very tired. I am considering a swap for more power. I have a 350 from a 73 Vette which has less than 200 hp (I don't want to get into the HP scuffle). Anyway, there is a 4WD shop here in Houston which will do the swap. They are a little pricey but I plan to keep the...

    chevy 350 Swap for FJ60

    I also have a FJ60 with a tired 2F so I'm considering a V8 swap. I tried searching the treads and agree there should be a decicated FJ60 V8 swap FAQ. Maybe I didn't use the magic words. I have a 350 from a 73 Corvette. I sold the body and kept the engine. I had the engine rebuilt with an...
