Block numbers from my FJ40. Its a 1972 and looks like rebuilt 2F engine installed. Based on block numbers looks like a 3/20/1977 build? Cannot read engine number on flat space above starter. What do you think - removed or never stamped?

It’s supposed to be as flat as a mirror. Yours is pitted. Therefore, it is safe to assume yours rusted over, then you or a PO wire wheeled the rust off (and the number) before painting the block black.

I’m looking for some help ID’ing this engine.

Looks like a 2F, ID#037131 has a 2F (seen above) , but has an early oil pump. Is it just an early iteration of the 2f, or is this what’s referred to as the F1.5? Excuse my ignorance. Also found it interesting that the “2” in the ID# is majorly offset.

I’d like to brag too; the inside of this engine looks brand new. :) Looking forward to rebuilding it.

I bought it by itself, with a t-case and 4spd. I have no idea what year cruiser it came from.

There was and is an ‘intermediate ‘ oil pump that was used from 9/73 until early ‘76, which jibes with your block number.

1978 FJ40 2F

MFG Date: Dec 1978 12/78
Frame: 297923
Block: 339011

Mine is original, but according to SOR table and spreadsheet, my engine is very near last of line for a 78. Furthermore, currently investigating some original accessories (i.e. bottle jack) on mine that are clearly from a late model 79+. I'd be curious to know who might know how many more Dec 78s were produced after mine ?
