Does anyone know what exterior colors Toyota used on a factory fresh 2H back in the day?
Thanks....

The engines came in blue and black (?)

Mine is freeborn red, that is the only color, the rest is imagination.
Freeborn Red, Code T-309
Yrs. '71-'83
FJ60 - '81 - '87
Ditzler Code 71999

All the 2H and 12HT I've worked on were blue.
The old Chrysler engine blue is the closest I've found to match it.

The 4 2H's I have had where/are blue as well.

My 12ht was grey with sticker stripes... Also seen blue and red around..

My 2H has some evidence that it was indeed once light blue.

Thanks guys ......
As we started disassembling the engine we found some evidence of the original blue on the rear section of the engine.

Hopefully the end result will look something like this.

What a handsome engine.

I always thought it got it's maximum torque at 2000 rpm?

Wikipedia and cruiserfaq both say 2000.
But I saw a sales brochure that said 1800. And then there's the above pic that also says 1800.

I had a "H" diesel ( 1978 HJ45 pickup ) but it was mostly the color of oil and grease.
