I'm at the end of my path for a this 2F.
It's as tuned up as I can think to make it:
-289,000 mile original shortblock. 130 psi average compression. Fresh cylinder head and valve adjustment. No leaks from intake or exhaust. Almost completely desmogged.
-2.25" catless to a factory sized...
Here is what happened... It's unfortunately a bit of an 'I told ME so'.
It was time for an oil change on my 78 with a stock 2F. I was debating if I should try to clean up the crank case a bit with sea foam or B-12. I was leaning toward no, but then decided to do it. I used less than...
Not interested in building a 2FE or doing a 3FE or other swap. I'd like to add FI to my 2f with the primary goal being to not stall out on steep inclines while wheeling (as I just did WAY too often in Moab). I don't care about street performance, horse power, fuel economy etc etc. It just needs...

Hi All - selling our project and getting something safer as a daily driver for mom and baby.
Ad and description here: Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40

Any questions, feel free to message or give me a call via the number on the ad.
Reassembling my 2F and went to install freshly machined crank tonight and crank hung up on thrust bearing (#3). New crank is from a '79 2F and is .030" over. Old crank was .020" over. Block is 11/75. I bought .030" main bearings from SOR that are for 9/73-10/84. Old thrust bearings (upper...
QUIZ FOR THE MUD-WISE 2F GURRUS
This is my second post with these questions. I’m hoping that more will chime in. THANKS to everyone who helped with the 11 connections. There are a couple of the connections where no advice was offered and one or two that need some clarification. The good news is...
Longshot:
Anybody have a 2F timing cover gasket laying around? I ordered one Monday but it won't be here for the weekend and was hoping to finish off a project. Would need to be triangle area.
:beer: Ramon
I recently replaced a leaking VCV near the distributor on my 1980 FJ40. The leak went away and the idle quality is better but the engine is running a little like the timing is off. I wonder what the suggested ignition timing is for a stock 2F running on modern 87 grade (10% ethanol) fuel and...
Today I was driving back to work from lunch and heard a weird noise like squeaking of brakes, but I wasn't breaking. This was shortly followed by a very loud bang (backfire) and I immediately pulled over. The engine was still running just fine and when I let off the clutch it had power but now...
1978 FJ40 - but really can be from any 2F engine. Looking for two high quality manifolds - both intake and exhaust - each with no cracks and a set that was machined at the same time so they are flush/level.
Thanks for any leads or help! Much appreciated.
Searching for a good condition Timing gear cover and backing plate and oil squirt-er from a late 2F years 85-87 out of a FJ60.
Also need thrust plate and bolts, and possibly more if you're parting one ...
Anyone parting out a late 2F ?
Thanks.
:)
One of my projects on my 75 FJ40 is to rebuild the original 2F. Does anyone recommend a shop to get the block bored/honed, crank turned and head work?
Then quick tech question. I've got a 2F out of an 84 FJ60. What parts a interchangeable? From what I've figured out so far, the heads and oil...
I got a big ole crack in my exhaust manifold. I have 77' FJ40 (10/76 build date) California model. According to SOR, there is a special intake/exhaust manifold just for us poor California saps. Anyone have an extra lying around they would be willing to sell?
Hi,
I got a 79 FJ40 in parts yesterday. The PO
Got it to use the axels but never did.
He mentioned that the guy he got it from just got the 2F rebuilt.
Now here is the ? And problem, because he was just going to use the axels the just lest the driveline outside for 6 years.
So how can I know...
I'm struggling with finding piston which I know is common.
But if you have a source besides the idiots in eBay who do not actually have what they list....
Or have's set of pistons you can let go.
Please let me know. This engine build is quickly becoming a headache
