SOLD ABQ NM 1974 FJ40

[MIKKELSEN]

I had purchased a 69 FJ40 with a trashed 283 sbc in it. I researched a few options for engines and had avoided the LT series due to optispark, but always wondered if there were other benefits. I ended up doing a LS (5.3L LM7) that I bought from BD turnkey engines which was awesome. All the programming and wiring was already done. His costs have gone up a bit, but not unreasonable IMO. Beautiful rig, I wish I had my Chevelle sold so I could buy it.

I’ve always seen the BD turnkey stuff and thought about buying one for something. I’ll have to keep that in mind in the future.

I will definitely go that route again when I get the chance again, he was great to work with. I think with shipping it came out to about 3k but that was back in 2011.
