Hello everyone,
Getting ready to buy a 1985 Royal Blue FJ60 and need some advice. It's a 4 speed with about 80K on it and I am looking to make it a long distance machine. I realize these things are terrible on gas, but I will be using it as a daily (highway) driver and be using it for long road trips.
How much will it cost to upgrade this bad boy to a 5 speed transmission? How much will that improve the fuel economy?
What tips do you have to get the best gas mileage? What changes can I make to the engine, what parts should I change or upgrade?
Eventually, I would like to upgrade to a Chevy Vortec V8. How much will this cost? Should I go with the 5.3 or 5.7L? How do I make sure it will pass CA smog?
Thanks a lot! Any advice would be greatly appreciated
