Ok this is gonna be a build up of a 1971 FJ-40 which has been named "The Cucumber" by xjnation in this thread: https://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series-tech/236795-name-my-truck.html
2f from a '79
2f from a '79
- GM 4.3 TBI driven by a MegaSquirt 2 Extra.
- A 3fe distributor to sense the crank position and send that back to the MegaSquirt 2 Extra which then directly drives a Ford wasted spark 6 pack.
- Knock detector
- WB-O2 sensor
- dual AFR tables so that I can throw a switch on the computer between normal and economy.
- CAM custom ground.
- Engine bottom end is balanced.
- ARP rod bolts for a Supra.
- Engine and head have been machined and are essentially brand spanking new.
- Man-a-fre tuned headers
- Cherry bomb
- Serpentine belt
- Eaton M90 Supercharger that can be turned on and off with a switch. (Almost all superchargers off production cars behave in this fashion... they have a vacuum actuated switch that bypasses the supercharger under low load. They really only kick in when you mash the pedal. Just need to change the vacuum actuated switch to a solenoid.)
- Steering gear from a IH Scout II
- electric power steering pump, driver, and control computer from an early to mid 90's MR2. It will give me variable power steering when I get it dialed in and I will have it wired so that I can have auto/computer controlled, HI, OFF. ( This will work fine and the pump puts out 2000 psi... more than any mechanical driven pump.)
- Toyota LC 5 speed and transfer case, rebuilt
- Rebuilt 79 front and rear axles. Currently 3.73, will probably switch to the 4.11 that I have... depends on how it feels when it is all together.
- Monte Carlo disk brakes on rear with E-Brake.
- Selectable lockers front and rear. Probably ARB as the Toyota E-Locker is probably more costly. Not like there is a lot of choices in the selectable locker category for the Land Cruiser.
- Painless 18 circuit harness
- GM CS-144 140 amp alternator
- HID headlights
- LED lights everywhere else.
- Ford Taurus fan
- Electric water pump Davies, Craig EWP High Performance and Racing Electric Water Pump Kits
- Polished aluminum valve cover
- Polished aluminum water pump
- Polished aluminum Warn locking hubs
- Polished aluminum thermostat housing top and bottom
- Engine is painted POR-15 Ford Corporate Blue.
- Front and rear axles painted with POR-15 black.
- Bomber style guages. Gauge Product Selector
- Alcan in the near future.
- Parnelli Jones Dirt Grip 33x12.50
- F-250 Shock Towers.
