Long story short I seized a Crank Bearing on my1972 FJ-40 with an F engine, so ended up deciding to replace it with a 2F. Fast forward. The 2F had some work done on it and it comes home tomorrow from the machine shop. In the short term I want to just get the engine in my truck and get it running so I can break in the motor. I will eventually put in 60 series Power Steering, but again for now want to just get it going. So, I want to set up the 2F water pump and thermostat but am looking for some advice regarding how to set it up without the PS etc... I did purchase a replacement pulley system for the smog pump but am not sure, in the short term, how to set up the P/S Pump. I know I can not run it without fluid etc.... do I need to find a way to install a pulley there as well? Have others built a set up like this? If so, can you post up some pics. Many thanks.
