If there is a downside to runnin the V8 these days it's the damn gas prices. How big is the tank, like 13-15 gal or something. The gauge moves pretty quickly runnin round town. Kills me.

No way. Well maybe the 2F, my F weber 38 definitely used alot less gas. I mean this thing uses like 1/4 tank to run from house to work to home depot to house, like 20 miles maybe. Maybe an injected 8, but not this 4 barrel. It's not like I run them open the whole time either.

Wondered about springs as well. Like how much they float at 7500rpm?

 

[andrewfarmer]

what valves/springs you using?

90lbs. No float as far as I can tell

Only got to about 6500 on the last run....

Kudos to Andrew Farmer. And for those scratching your heads wondering what the deal with him is? LOL. I have known him now for about 3 years on the Land Cruiser Mailing List (LCML). Some of you here may already know Andrew.

However - Andrew is the reason I now have a strong running stock 2F. He is a cruiser genius and has helped me immensely over the past few years on the list.

He knows the 2F front and back, and if he says it - I do it. I respect his vast knowlege.

Oh, and the 2F rules OFF ROAD over a SMC.

1. More weight on the front axle for stability
2. chug that thing along at 200-800rpm's all day
3. stock oil cooler - runs ULTRA cool
4. VERY durable
5. It was built for the cruiser - and is not a chevy.

Daily driver around town? Maybe V8, but then that's why I have a tacoma.

<bow> to Andrew Farmer for all the help he's given me over the years.

A true cruiser head!

2F=Stone Ax Simple and without the hassle of shoe-horning in a V8.

So what's your stand on this debate? Would you run a 2F in that beast?

Fxxx no. I like my LT-1

As for those pics, I sure wish I had one just like it then......and one like I have now

 

[HawkDriver]

Well there ya have it folks. This debate is over. Thanks for your contributions.

I've been thinking about a swap but wanted to keep what ever I do Toyota parts. Is there anyone out there that has put a Lexus v-8 in a 40?

 

[RHINO]

dont think so, but a lexus in a 55 should be close enough right??

Oooooh now that would be a pretty sight . Too much headache though, I like em carbed and simple.
