Hello! We've begun an engine swap on my wife's FJ, and I thought I'd document the progress as we go. She had a nice 2F in it, but it overheated and knocks, so we opted to but another 2F in it to keep it original. Big thanks to Lynchmob here in IH8mud for a great deal on a pulled and running 2F!
This is our first engine swap, and so far it's been quite enjoyable. We're learning a lot about the truck!
The truck in question:
The old engine:
Fancy hinging front clip. Nice!
Radiator out:
Disconnecting all the bit- labeling and taking lot of picture!
Too much fun?
Done for the day, about 5 hours. Should be able to have the engine out after another day of work.
The replacement engine was from a 60 series, and has a new clutch and "3f" bellhousing. Since we havent seen the 40's setup out of the truck yet, can anyone tell me if the clutch/bellhousings are compatible?
Thanks,
Ryan and Maren
