3FE FJ40 RTCustoms build.

Someone is parting one out in the hill country. Have you thought about boxing the old mount to bring it out to the right spot??

Back from Powder Coat

Here is the intake back from Powder Coat and does it look SWEET OR WHAT!!! I will start putting it together today and get some assembled shots for you all. There is a little more polishing to do on the runners but I think we will have a sweet little manifold set when I am done.

My Project Manager is on my A$$ to get this thing together because he wants to go to round up!!!!

And yes I will have a spare one laying around already finished for the next truck!

When do you think you will test options for the mount? I thought about just moving the FJ40 out also. I can't do anything until next week (snowboarding this weekend). Do you think you will have the mount changed to fit properly with the 3FE passenger side motor bracket by next week? If you do it with the FJ62 mount, I'll find one.

 

[iaintscared1969]

Hopefully by the first of the week I should have that resolved. I will make sure I get plenty of detail shots for you.

Randy...GET BACK TO WORK...

Man that looks wicked! Post up a picture of the sliders sitting on top of the OEM step. I still can't decide if they are going to look to "fat" for the truck. Iam sure others will post up there opinions.

 

[iaintscared1969]

Thank you! I try...Now back to work...I have a 40 to start up! Not yours!!! I have the intake almost together and the E.mans together get you some pics in a few.

[iaintscared1969]

[mmw68]

I have to do something to keep busy while you have the truck.

Randy, That looks fantastic, I think you are going to give pappy some competition for best looking 3FE engine. How about a photo of the TB?

I wish I was having as much fun as you - Iam working on tearing apart that 8274, it has a little rust on it.

 

[iaintscared1969]

Couple more

Couple more of the progress...And my Project Manager said I could have the rest of the week OFF!!

Go for it. Can't hurt to have two purdy 3FE engines around. Here is what you are up against.

 

[mmw68]

OMG - that looks great! Your's might look better, but I've got two!


One of Randy's FJ62 creations. from Michelle's truck:

Pappy - Is that a 2F lower with a 3FE...or a 2FE?

I wish we could of pulled my 3FE out of the truck and done it right. The PO just slapped it in. If you have the engine out - at least degrease it and shoot some hi-temp black paint on...how much effort does that take?

hummm - So Randy if we are going to keep up with pappy, we might have to pull the engine!

Yes, 3FE upper on a balanced to zero 2F lower. That engine for Michelle is just too nice to get greasy. You don't need to keep up. My name isn't Jones . Just get 'er done and I'll meet you at the dyno.

Randy, final parts came in today, OEM FJ40 Steering box & 3FE pump, and a few ignition parts, I'll ship them right out to you. We have shmukter to thank for the box, he has been great to deal with on used parts. (shamless plug for Gary)


Matt -- do you have a dyno place near you, we should just meet at your place, if would make a great road trip!
