Mudders,
I am seeking knowledge on a few idiosyncrasies of the swap mentioned in the title. Yes there are many considerations but I'll keep my questions bulleted and concise. First a few important considerations:
-I pulled the stock 1966 1F and have all the engine mounts and goodies. Engine ran great (only had 89k original miles) but I'm sick of adding lead additive and the 1bbl carb, while the MPGs are the best of any Cruiser I've driven, the power trade off doesn't quite suit my needs. Anyone looking for a complete running early 1F let me know and we'll make it happen on good terms for both parties.
-I have a complete 1976 2F stock with the exception of a brand new never installed Non-USA later OEM Aisin Carb.
-My 1966 fj40 is stock.
Questions:
1) Will I have height clearence issues dropping in my 1976 2F into my engine bay? If so how do you solve? Swap engine motor mount brackets? Air cleaner heights? What have you observed (not heard)?
2) How will I solve my (early early) style accelerator to mate with my newer carb? (I purchased a complete factory 1976 2F accelerator linkage package and a (mid-later vintage) style orange boot accelerator pedal but would rather seek options for ease that people have observed (not heard). Is there a good cable option that would make my life easier?
If you have read this far thank you for you time! I have conducted a lot of research over the years in anticipation of this swap and there are many rights and wrongs and opinions. I am hoping for first hand observations or knowledge from the sage Landcruiser omnipotent pros who know! You know who you are out there and thank you for all the knowledge you have imbued on us Cruiser folks!
Once I'm finished with this swap I'll have some early Landcruiser drive terrain goodies. Have some other odds and ends I'll be losting to clean out too so let me know. Not trying to make a buck. Trying to keep the quality OEM parts in circulation for eveyone to enjoy!
Thanks again!
