    What’s the best part about doing a 2H swap into an FJ62??? Packing up the engine hoist away because you won’t need to pull the f’ing motor and box out for the millionth time ever again!!!!

    No, definitely going all late model throughout (except the engine!!!!)

    Yep, see next post (a bit slow in posting I am!) Thanks for contributing mate you've been a great sounding board for me so far.

    So I cleaned up the mounts a little, then I used the reference points with steering box bolts on the RHS to mount and punch in some holes in the chassis to mark out where they sit. On the LHS, i sheared the head of an appropriately sized bolt, threaded it into both the chassis and the supplied...

    So engine mounts had to come out. If gearbox crossmember was modified to make it suit, i'd have a gear shifter pushed forward inside the cab, too close to the dash console for my liking. The other thing that played on my mind was engine height, distance from the firewall, angles, clocking, all...

    Seemed to fit OK, but, of course, the gearbox didnt line up, so i had a look at what would happen if the gearbox was in place

    Thought it time I resurrect this thread and get on with the job. Not much has happened since last post, but I have decided to focus on the engine swap particulars. So I figured while the 2H from the HJ60 is out, i'll grab the 2H from my 1981 HJ47 project and use that as a donor for the swap...

    Not sure I can get that mating surface much cleaner than that.

    What sealant did you use? Also, I’ll definitely be checking the engine block deck and head for straightness and if outside of limits I’ll take to it with the sharpening stone. I’ve put about 6 hours in on the oil cooler housing engine block side but that looks to be the worst so far. I’ll let...

    Some pics of the dismantling. I realised that i had set the engine to 11deg mark BTDC rather than TDC, so I put some white-out on the aligning marks, along with the injection pump "window". I also put some white out on the injection pump housing that is fitted to the timing case, to make sure i...

    so bit of an update.... things have been moving slowly, but moving along anyways. The motor, gearbox and shafts were removed from the HJ60 and I have partially stripped the engine ready for gasket / seal replacement and a bit of a cleanup. The motor looked to be in good condition, no oil gunk...

    Ok so small update but every long journey starts with …. yadda yadda So over the last couple of weeks I haven’t done much but grabbed myself a 2T engine hoist and was amazingly fortunate to get the mysterious gearbox cabling loom from a legend of a guy, David W, who had a 3F 5sp just like my...

    So here's where its at right now. I've pretty much removed everything that I'm going to remove including all fuel lines and tanks and piping and the like, and everything else from the engine bay that I don't need (i think). Next step is to wait out the weather, then wheel her out and give it a...

    Yeah there is. Thanks for that. I won’t need those as I don’t have a vac actuated box. Awesome! Another component I can strip out.

    And finally (for now) can anyone tell me what these two connections are for, and the hose with the check valve - again I'm guessing it has something to do with petrol related vacuum?

    This one here though has got me a little stumped. I know it goes down to the gearbox area, but it is really difficult to align any wiring diagrams with what i have in hand. As Baron FJ62 has pointed out, the loom isn't necessarily continuous into one connector - it likely splits out along the...

    Ok, so here are a couple of pics of what I've been left with as far as hacked wiring goes.... I'm pretty sure these are all carby related, but if anyone can clarify that would be great.
