No sweat. If you go the Chevy valve route, there is a thread on the parts needed and I think they were cheaper than the Toyota parts.

Thanks.Balancing is definitely worth it. The long stroke of 2f means it will vibrate like a bad boy if not balanced.
No clue on the pricing. But even a static balance will be better than nothing.
The stock cam dies at a fairly low rpm. If you go to the trouble of balancing, then a aftermarket cam will wake the upper end up considerably.
I spent five hours with a friend diagnosing my truck before giving up and installing a new engine.
It ended up being the 4" piece of fuel hose connecting the internal fuel pump to the hard lines that exit the tank. The fuel hose had deteriorated and cracked open on the side giving me virtually no fuel pressure.
I swapped in a new fuel pump and new piece of proper hose and now I don't need an engine.
So I can't help ya on the costs of getting a head rebuilt.
They are the same as far as mounting, but the 3FE cover has an extension at the bottom for an attachment point for a coolant or steering hose that crossed under the engine at that point.I know this is an old thread, but I thought I would reach and see if anyone knows if a 2F timing cover will fit on a 3FE block? The 3FE cover is NLA and the 2F is still available. Thanks.
This may be a catastrophically stupid question. Would this work on a F155/ F.5 engine? The thinking goes a 2F valve cover will bolt onto an F.5 and a 3FE cover will bolt onto a 2F. Sooooooo 3FE top on F.5?So any other custom modifications that I haven't thought of?
Here's my list:
2F block
2F push rods
3FE head
2F water pump
reducer fitting from water pump to main cooling hose (2F water pump has larger diameter output compared to 3FE water pump)
modified upper fan shroud (2F water pump sits 3/4" higher than 3FE water pump)
clean/rebuild injectors
Head Gasket Kit
modify/weld up pcv valve on 2F side cover, use 3Fe valve cover.
extend exhaust.
Engine mount to AC custom bracket
AC to PS custom bracket
Ø3/8 steel pipe used as spacer for alternator
1" X 1/4" flat steel plate to spacer the smog pump
ilder pulley (large belt) mounting bracket must be trimmed
block off coolant hoses from 3FE thermostat housing that used to go to 3FE water pump. (2F water pump doesn’t have enough outlets)
Oiling isn't an issue with the F.5 so yes, it should.This may be a catastrophically stupid question. Would this work on a F155/ F.5 engine? The thinking goes a 2F valve cover will bolt onto an F.5 and a 3FE cover will bolt onto a 2F. Sooooooo 3FE top on F.5?
Hey all, does anyone know of a definitive guide or step by step instructions on converting to 2FE? I have a 60 series 2F block and want to add the 3FE. I also want to desmog it.
Apologies, but I’m struggling to navigate to that. Do you have a link?Look in the 40-series sub-forum also; there are at least a couple of 2FE build threads over there.
