Anyway to get this in a custom 2FE one?
Have you checked it now to see where it is on the stick?So question to the group, HOW SREWED AM I, my wife wanted to drive the cruiser, and I have shown her how to check the oil, she thought it was LOW and added about ..... 1 1/2 quarts? I'm due for an oil change in 2 weeks with a local shop I like to use.
SO HELP.....?![]()
about 1-1/2 inches over the full line..Have you checked it now to see where it is on the stick?
Welp. Time for an oil change. Just sooner than you thought.about 1-1/2 inches over the full line..
Yuppp… and she’s lost her driving privilegesWelp. Time for an oil change. Just sooner than you thought.
You're going to need a really long straw and some mouth wash.about 1-1/2 inches over the full line..
Looking to replace my drivers seat belt? Someone said I could use the 3rd row seats belt, however one of the metal brackets is bent at a 45 degree angel and will not work? Need some wisdom from the group. Thanks
So the date is set to try and get my 2fe in my 80 which is on the other side of the country from me. April 15th in Fuquay Varina NC.
I had thought a friend had pulled my 3fe last september but found out yesterday it hasn't been touched. So i'll be pulling the 3fe, swapping all needed parts to the 2fe, installing along with a body lift and then get he stand alone ecu to run.
Then later in the year when I get it back to me in WA i'll be doing the turbo install.
My truck looking sad how it sits currently.

MSD 6A multispark controller
The entire rotating assembly of this engine was balanced - this is what makes this motor special. It will spin 5k effortlessly and that's where I have the rev limit set. I'm currently running a H55F and the gear spacing is such that I rarely spin it over 4,500. I had the engine WOT dyno tuned and it makes 144RWHP and 206ft*lbs:

At the time I had worn out tires on the my 40, and the tuner didn't trust running it WOT in 4th, so this was the results in 3rd gear. I will tell you, and others who have ridden in my truck will confirm, this thing has a TON more power than any stock 2F or 3FE.
MegaSquirt MS2 controller:
I built this controller and have done most of the tuning myself. This setup allows you to completely control timing, fueling, idle speed, etc etc. Included is a bluetooth adapter that allows tuning and dashboard monitoring via laptop or tablet. I'll throw in my POS tablet that I currently have mounted to my dash, but highly recommend a more elegant solution. The tablet is old, in bad condition, but working. You can see the tablet in the videos below.
Cold start: I have had some issues with cold start. I've been able to tune them out for the most part, but ran out of talent and cold days to get it really good. It still takes several revolutions on a really cold day to start. And honestly, this setup takes an extra crank rev or two to start than stock at all conditions. However, it does always fire up and idles very nicely, immediately.
Oil leaks:
One at the front of the engine: I've confirmed this leak is from the front crank seal, and I've replaced the seal and it still leaks, so the crank pulley will need a speedi-sleeve. Also, there is a seeping leak at the rear passenger side of the engine I believe to be coming from the side cover. Will confirm when the engine is pulled. Couple of drips after parked.
Leak Down Test:
Below are the numbers from each cylinder from a leakdown test. I used a Snap-On and it shows 10-30% as "low" (leakage), 40-70% as "moderate", for reference. Note, that my testing was just using the dizzy rotor position bumped by the starter to get each cylinder to its TDC and I think I had some leakage from the exhaust due to being just past TDC when the exhaust valve was just starting to open (I could hear some air in the exhaust and some in the crankcase)
1 - 7%
2 - 20%
3 - 25%
4 - 15%
5 - 18%
6 - 10%
Compression Test:
Performed with engine warm, dry test. Did not do a wet test.
1 - 190PSI
2 - 175PSI
3 - 180PSI
4 - 175PSI
5 - 180PSI
6 - 185PSI
And the turbo kit that will eventually be installed.
Pics are from a 62 that I bought it from

Hitting low 90's here - seems like the truck is running more sluggish than usual & the speedo is doing that thing where it says I'm doing 70 in a 30.
Is there anything you do to make your rigs summer ready?
