For Sale 1977 FJ40 350conv 4 wheel disc ps

[jimkyser]

To far for a test drive...which is my hesitation. Or if I had driven a 40 with a 350 conv. and a tubo 400 trans 4:11 gears. I will be using it as a DD so I'm concerned running it at 3000+rpms on a regular basis is going to give me problems. The car is 5500 and its another 900 to ship it to NJ.

Just a personal opinion, but I hope you don't plan to drive a lifted 40 over 70mph on a regular basis. The truck is short, high and narrow, if you need to make a quick maneuver it could get ugly. With 4:11 gears, no overdrive and 33" tires you should be going ~72mph at 3000 rpm. I drive my other cars at 80mph on the interstate all the time, but my 40 rarely sees 65, even on the interstate.

Agree with Jim above...short wheel base, big lift and tires, aerodynamics of a brick...I read somewhere on MUD thats its the smiles per hour in a 40, NOT the mph !
