Hi All,
Restoring Bumpi, a 1978 FJ40. Bought a rebuilt motor from Man A Fre. They have got it ready, BUT….
as it turns out they have a “late” model 1979 2F engine versus the “early” model 1978 2F engine the car came with. Other than the mounting points for power steering, and higher compression pistons…what are the issues with putting a “late” motor in a “early” frame?
Cheers!
JB & Bumpi
