EDIT: There are over 20 pictures of this in my Ebay listing. The description is more complete too. Prefer to sell it here on mud but I need to get this thing gone. Check it out here if you are interested:

This was a project that started because I picked up a rough but close to complete FJ40. I collected most everything needed to put together a trail beater/ summer fun driver and the project stopped there. Now I’d like to free up some cash for a different project. I’m just trying to get close to what I have in it back.

’78 FJ40 rolling chassis and tub. Good frame. Rough Body…I was gonna slap it together and drive it ugly. All steering, brakes, etc is there. Someone pulled the motor and tranny and stopped there. It has the engine bay VIN tag but the one on the door jamb is missing. Good beater material nothing close to restorable. $600

Complete 2f motor (‘76 I believe) with all accessories from bellhousing to fan, oil pan to carb. Includes starter, alternator, everything but the aircleaner housing. Bought as “running great when pulled” from a reputable h8mud member. $300

Complete 3fe motor. All accessories and fuel injection sensors intact- no A/C pump though. I heard this one start and run before it was pulled w/200k on the clock. Also have a complete wiring harness to go with this. $300

Complete 4sp transmission and transfer case combo with bellhousing and clutch fork. $250.

The reason for the two motors is that I was going to build a fuel injected 2f. I’d really prefer to sell all of the above as a package for $1300. The only thing I do not have needed to assemble a complete truck is a couple of factory seat brackets. If someone wants just the rolling chassis I will sell the other stuff individually but I don’t want to sell individual parts unless the rolling chassis is sold.

Most of it is at my buddy's shop right now but I can get and email pics to anyone interested.

If you have questions, give a call. 757 Six4two 70one9. Chris

I've got an extra early ('73) cowl/firewall that I was saving for a potential buggy build that has all appropriate VIN tags that I'll throw in. Also some disassembled hardtop parts: sides and fiberglass top. This could be a cheap & easy project for someone.

I also have a trailer and can help with delivery within a resonable distance.

Where in VA are you? I'm in Morgantown, WV and need an engine, and potentially a rolling tub/frame and hardtop if the one you have is servicable.

Could I see some pictures? Thanks

Area code is down around Norfolk area.
 
That is correct...Norfolk. Replied to your PM. Most of the truck is at my buddy's shop. I'll snap some pics this weekend so I can email them anyone interested.
 
"Complete 3fe motor. All accessories and fuel injection sensors intact- no A/C pump though. I heard this one start and run before it was pulled w/200k on the clock. Also have a complete wiring harness to go with this. $300 "

what's the definition of a "complete" wiring harness.. If it's the WHOLE harness from inside the FJ62 might be interested.
 
Yes. Complete harness. I bought this separate from the motor (from another Mud member) because I anticipated needing it to install the 3FE into my fj40.
 
For people wanting pictures, I added a link to the ebay listing above in the very first post. If a mud member wants this thing I will end the auction early.
