2F Compatible Parts?

[POPO AGIE]

I have the same situation. I have a lot of parts for my 78 FJ40 that I will most likely scrap and it is too expensive to ship now.

I know what you mean. My garage just isn't big enough for the motorcycle (still for sale by the way everyone, BEAUTIFUL and only $6,500) and the FJ40 and all the parts. Thankfully, Mark let me know what parts are compatible with my '78 2F drivetrain I will be using so I 'could' keep some of those as spares, but the other things that nobody has any interest in (like the block) will be going away.

I was about to gas up the Crosstrek and head to Florida for that manifold set until I saw the other piece. Damn.

I swapped a 1974 1.5F for a 1975 2F and some ancillary parts were compatible, like the intake manifold, alternator, flywheel & clutch, air cleaner and more.

Looks to me like the intake manifold is good if anyone is interested. Less weight to ship too instead of the exhaust manifold being with it.

Plus, let me add that when we bought this house almost 4 years ago they "said" it was a "2 Car Garage". Well... if it is, it is the smallest 2 car garage I ever saw! You could probably comfortably have 2 Toyota Prius' in there and still be able to open doors to get in and out and move around, but a Sienna and a 4Runner or FJ40.... I'd have to see it to believe it. LOL. So definitely not enough room to store big bulky spare items. I could probably get a couple of good plastic storage bins and store some smaller spare parts that are occasionally needed in the small storage shed with the lawn mower in the back yard, but other than that, nope.

You won’t know how good the intake is until you get the exhaust off of it. The bolts coming up from the exhaust may well strip out the aluminum intake before they come out, taking most of the value with it.

Ah, good point.

Your head has open combustion chambers. I *think* that I see the boss for the cast in oiling passage to the rocker arm pedestal. This makes is at least a late '72 head (if the boss is not drilled) or more likely a '73 or '74 head (if the passage is drilled). This is a prized find. Drop it on an open chamber 2F for 9.3:1 or so compression with no other mods.

The starter is interchangeable to your new 2F.

Never scrap an Asain carb these days.

Never scrap a good (or easily repairable) OEM radiator these days.

That flywheel and pressure plate (along with the short clutch fork pivot point from the bellhousing) will work on your 2F. It is heavier than the 2F assembly which is a big plus for low speed crawling.

The thermostat housing is the same as the earlier 2Fs. they break. Keep it.

Hey Mark, based on your input I decided to keep the head assembly. Any idea how we much that weighs? I picked it up off the garage floor to put it into a plastic storage bin and it was WAY heavier than I expected! Definitely over my 20 pound lifting limit. LOL!

About 90 lbs IIRC.

Whew... sure felt heavier than that. Getting old SUCKS!
