NEW PRICE

$1500for everything I have here for the engine combo. CANADIAN funds only. Paid by moneygram or western union.
$1800and I will include a t/case rebuild kit.

Included: engine, 5 speed tranny, 2 piece t/case, drive shafts, engine mounts (steel parts frame and engine), injection pump, injectors, edic motor and control, glow plugs, starter, alternator, shifters, etc. anything that is attached to the combo is included.

It came out of a truck with 550,000 Km (330,000 miles) on it. I do not know the history of the engine. I do know it was a one owner truck from new.

We did a compression test and the numbers are higher than 425 (480, 460 460, 490) which leads me to suspect serious carbon build up (or the head MIGHT have been replaced and shaved??). I would recommend pulling the head and doing a visual of the precups, the carbon and look for cracks in the head between the valves. The previous owner MIGHT have put a new head on at one point or he might not have. The rubber motor mounts are there but one is broken so needs replacement.

The tranny shift through the gears but I do not know if the 5th gear pops out or not. (Typical of the H55F).

The 2 piece t/case is stronger than the old style one piece with a much larger idler shaft. The t/case doesn't shift easily so a rebuild is necessary. All the parts are there.

Shifters are included but need cleaning up.
The metal engine mounts from the frame of the 70 series were cut off the frame and are included. They will need modifying to fit a 40 but at least you have an idea of what the location should be.

I have the tranny cross member and once again it will need modifying but you have something to work with. The rubber tranny mount looks fine.

The injection pump, injectors, sending units are included but the ECU wiring for the edic isn't. It was sold with the dash.

I would recommend a cable start and shut down.

I would recommend a manual glow system.

I can include the drive shafts if wanted.

It looks like a blob of rust; it needs tearing down and sand blasting. I am selling this combo to give the purchaser a base to build from.

Does it run? It ran for me to do the compression test. I ran it for all of 15 mins to bring it to operating temps.

I never drove the truck (the brake lines were shot so no brakes and the e/brake were seized).

I pushed a dead truck in the shop. Screwed around with it for a half hour to get it to run. The diesel that was in the truck smelled like kerosene. I used a fresh can of diesel and filled the fuel filter with sea foam. Cranked it over with fresh batteries.

It cranked smooth and fast so I suspect the starter is fine (although ugly on the outside).

The edic worked smooth so the ECU is working fine as is the edic motor.

All the lines came loose easily except #5 for bleeding the lines to start it.

It rattled when it started but smoothed out as the fresh diesel got through the lines so I suspect the injectors and pump are fine.

It seemed to rev fine although I suspect a valve adjustment is required.

I would suggest a new clutch package since the truck lived in a farmer’s field that last 3-5 years not running, not moving.

I think that is all I know and suspect about the combo.

If you want it, realize what you are getting, a combo to rebuild from. IF you install and drive it then that is your call. It does run.

My recommendation is to AT LEAST pull the head, new clutch and rebuild the t/case and check 5th gear hub.

Shipping extra and to be arranged by purchaser.

Hi crushers do you have any idea of what it would cost to ship to the states and can it be.And what is involved it doing it.Also what happened to the 70 it came out of.
 
the truck ... well ... Jan described it best ... fell apart.
good old Ontario rust.

shipping to the states? no idea, i would suggest just driving up here and picking it up in a pick-um-up truck. I am not that far away. MSGrunt is making his way up here this weekend.
shipping would be expensive since it weighs in at about 900 lbs.

cheers
 
thanks Louis, he is about 8 hours away so a comfortable weekend drive for him
also this lets him inspect the engine before dropping any cash, if he doesn't buy it then i will buy him supper and he is on his way...
 
took the t/case off yesterday and the rear output on the 5 speed is like new shape. normally with 500K this shaft is worn badly. if this is any indication then this 5 speed is in great shape and the t.case guts is in good shape as well.
engine runs.

no promises but it seems like a decent setup at a good price.
 
Wayne-

What is the output spline count on the H55 that you have with this combo?

I'm looking for 19 splines into the T-case.

Please let me know!

Thanks-
Jeff
 
yes, it is a 19 spline into a part time 2 piece t/case. shaft is in excellent shape. t/case gears are in excellent shape.
cheers and thanks for looking.
 
Am i correct in assuming the entire package is still available? Have a 79 FJ-40 in need of a new engine and would like to go to a diesel.
 
yah sure, it is still all here
but
make sure you understand what you are buying ...
engine runs, condition unknown, compression SEEMS good.
tranny shifts but no test drive was taken. condition unknown.
t/case, interior parts SEEM to be in excellent shape but condition unknown.
associated parts, anything that is still here for the system is yours, condition unknown.

this is a great system for someone that wants to take the risk, is willing to rebuild if neccessary but will be happy if it bolts in and runs fine.

CONDITION UNKNOWN.

come and get it, bring cash.

heading Stateside in a week or so, willing to deliver over the border at Niagra Falls for a couple hundred. customer must arrange a way to get engine off the truck and someone to meet me ON TIME.

otherwise, do a beautiful drive up and pick it up.

cheers and thanks for looking.
 
Interested in the Tranny/clutch set up. Still available? How much WITHOUT the engine?
