2f in a 62?

[scott johnson]

My 3fe in my 88 fj62 was shot (lots of blow by) so We aquired another 3fe that didn't pan out to be any good either. So now I have a line on a good 2f. Question is can you make the 2f work with the auto trans or do I need to swap over the parts to make a 2fe?

3fe is de smogged

 

[SHERMAN FJ62]

A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THE FJ62 TRANS SHOULD MOUNT UP TO 2F. YOU SHOULD JUST SELL IT TO ME AND LET ME PUT A LS IN IT.

SUPPOSEDLY THERE IS A 3FE IN A 80 SERIES AT LKQ HERE ON RIVERS.

Its doubtful you'll be happy with the 2F pushing an automatic.

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

it'll bolt right up, might need proper bolts the flex plate is thinner than a flywheel...also, use an early flexplate; the later ones have larger diameter bolt holes. HTH

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

OS is onto something...but it'll work...and you'll only notice if you have a need for speed...

I would do a 2FE if I was in your situation, it will just add a little bit more work then you are already going to do.

 

[cruisermatt]

As for flexplate bolts, your 88 is in the year where the 3FE flexplate bolts will thread into the 2F crank without worry.

Your auto trans will have trouble 'kicking down' when you floor it, unless you fab a linkage for that to the FJ60 carburetor...

 

[scott johnson]

We were worried about the drop down and the "lock up"

 

[scott johnson]

It's already de smogged so I would imagine makings it a 2fe wouldn't be too crazy.

2FE works great in a 62.

Just make sure you get a flat top piston 2F.
