For you questions you should go to the FJ25 section. The early 60’s FJ40 owners can be found there.

Hey! Anyone reading this: I wanted to do this a million years ago, as I’ve been a ‘mudder since 2004, and had my 40 for more than 30 years now. I’d like to add my truck details to the registry.
FJ40202302 6/75 355 SBC in Freeborn Red. Original trans, free, and axles.
I’ve never had the 2F, but would LOVE to find the exact engine if possible. Our Cruiser community is a “LARGE SMALL” one, so perhaps someone has the actual 2F from my truck.
I estimate that the V8 swap was done sometime in the mid ‘80s. The truck was from San Diego/SoCal. I purchased it in 1994, there in San Diego.

Ralph,
I believe you will need the engine VIN to find your engine, not the chassis VIN. It is my understanding that these numbers do not match each other. I have an original data plate on my '63 FJ40 and the engine VIN is listed there (correctly) The chassis VIN is not the same.

This is correct. They are not matching like a Chevelle. There are a few build threads that I've seen on here where this has been done.
@mudpaws you would need to find a 2F with a stamp that is around the date 6/75. There's some data out there like this chart if you search: Frequently Asked Questions About Your Land Cruiser - Specter Off-Road - https://www.sor.com/cat/005b#tab2
There's a guy on here that has some data where he is extrapolating the most likely birthday. It's on the front page but if I see the link I'll post it here.

@DirtDauberGarage is doing the birthday thing, which is awesome by the way.
Yes. I had known that. That does make it a little more “needle in a haystack”-like.
At least I can check into the info you guys have provided. I have to go back onto SOR’s site.. and I guess meanwhile if anyone comes across a June ‘75 engine.. that’d be amazing!

VIN is the vehicle identification number. Engines have just a serial number not a VIN. I know my 9/64 FJ45LP-B still had the engine serial number on the firewall plaque. Was some time after that the engine serial number was no longer on the under the hood plaque. My 9/67 FJ40 does not have the original engine serial number.
The F engines were used in other vehicles so would really be impossible to have the engine serial number match the vehicle VIN.

A beautiful machine Demetrios!
Thank you mate!
It seems that you've got an amazing Cruiser background (enriched by your Tech threads too)!

Builds - 73 FJ40 Refresh
Starting this to document my refresh. I know you guys like pictures. I bought this about 15 years ago and have done a lot of mechanical stuff but now it really needs a paint job. I want it to look like an authentic 73 on the outside with tasteful upgrades under the hood. Currently running...
