Most guys here won't like what I've done to this classic cruiser, but "it is what it is".
Also, I'm listing as a 73/74 because I'm really not that sure. The VIN is stamped 73, but from what I've read here, that really doesn't mean it's a 73, could be a 74 It has a factory rollbar, jump seats, and rear reflector lights.
Summary:
body off, blasted, painted and interior rhino-lined 1973 Toyota FJ40 with the following mods:
=> Blueprinted 383 Stroker; Solid Roller CAM; SCAT crank; dished pistons; hardened rods, rollers, & rockers; polished, ported, bowls, seats work - custom "Larry Meaux Racing Heads"; match ported and polished Victor JR. Intake; 200HP N2O solenoids mounted on intake plate under Pro-Systems 1000CFM carb. Complete long block was professionally built by C&S Performance in Baton Rouge, LA. 14.5K invested in motor and custom headers. 10-pull Dyno tested @ 781HP / 734 ft. lbs. torque (have printed reports, pictures & binder for proof).
=> Alum radiator, custom shroud, pro series high CFM elect. fan
=> Custom ceramic dipped headers, custom 3" exhaust w/ Master Flow series 40's.
=> Custom built TH350 1000HP tranny, 3200 Stall converter, with B&M Quick Silver ratchet shifter and B&M Launch control on custom aluminum console in cab with switches for 12VDC disconnect, manual fan control, launch control.
=> Custom billet Alum gauge dash insert w/ all Auto-Meter($$$) gauges.
=> Custom chopped 9" Ford, 32 spline, disk brakes, 542 gears on posi-spool piece in rear.
=> Factory Toyota in front with Man-A-Fre disk conversion.
=> Ford Mustang power drum, Master Cylinder and proportioning valve for 4-wheel disk brakes.
=> NP205 transfercase
=> Custom 2.5 Ton "High-Angle Driveline" (California) rear shaft, with double carden and flanged on both ends.
=> Custom 4-Link rear suspension with coil-overs.
=> Front shackle reversal & removed overload leaf for smooth ride
=> Power steering
=> Custom side steps.
=> 35" Pro-Comps on 15" A/R wheels.
=> custom roll cage.
=> Hard top, sides & rear ambulance doors in storage (may need slight mods to fit 73 model).
And I'm sure I'm forgetting some here and there, but these are the major component build details.
$32K to date. I need to get rid of it, because I need room in my shop. It's no "daily driver" by any stretch of the imagination. Although, it could be with tamed down rear gears (~4.56) and a lighter stall (or no stall) converter. It merely sits in my shop with seldom 1/8 mile runs. It needs to get into the hands of someone near a beach to ride, play and show-off, or someone with needs for frequent adrenaline rushes. If I had to guess I have less than 100 miles on the new build-up. I have nowhere to enjoy cruising this rig. So I'm looking to trade off for something that I can put to practical or everyday use...

Seriously, you gotta put this on a race parts or drag forum. We're a bunch of slow pokes here. Maybe sell the non-Toy parts separately and sell this more as a clean builder closer to it's original nature? Just a thought ... GL, nice rig!
