I have a 2f and a 1fzfe, but understand your concern. Do a thorough tune-up for starters. Use OEM parts. Read the posts on lubricants - there's some thought that synthetic in the diffs and transfer will help milage.

Hi Andrew,
Is the SBC you mention the DOHC 1FZ-FE engine?
overhanger said:I love the 3FE that Robbie at Slee rebuilt for me last year. .060" OEM pistons, .060" head mill, port matching of head, intake and exhaust manifolds and rebuilt injectors and bored out throttle body (3mm) by RC Engineering. Eisenhower Tunnel at 11,000' used to be a 40 mph/second gear grind. Now doable at 60+ mph in third gear with a similar load in the truck. Wasn't cheap and requires 91 octane but I'm super happy with the results and best of all it is 99% stock - even the cam.

TPI's headers were the headers you got or made your own?
and jasper is jasperengines.com and to save time its like 5425 for the remaf. engine.
No I used both 02 sensors run one after the other, no CEL or anything, just used one modern ODBII cat versus the two old OBDI cats.overhanger said:The rest of the exhaust system was built very similarly to the pictures that you posted of your truck although I stuck with two O2 sensors. Din't your pictures show a single O2 sensor bung?
I've heard only good things about Jasper rebuilds.
