Update: I pulled the engine and tranny from the truck yesterday. I pulled out the spark plugs, shown here so that you can see that it's not an oil burner...
If you're interested, another mudder on the forum has driven it. PM Manuchao and he'll tell you what he thinks.
Complete 3FE for sale $500. Comes with all peripherals, Alternator, PS pump, AC/Compressor, Air Cleaner etc. A/C Compressor, water pump and alternator have been all replaced within the last 2-3 years. Parts alone are worth way more than what I'm asking.
This is a strong running, quick starting, extremely reliable used 3FE from a 1989 FJ62 with 245K miles. Extremely clean, well cared-for, uses very little oil (1qt/5000 miles).
It oozes a bit of oil, so I would recommend replacing seals and gaskets. Recently steam cleaned.
I'm doing a Vortec conversion for more power and better gas mileage, as I am retired and take long road trips in the summer. Otherwise, it seems to me that this motor would be good for at least 50-100K more miles, as it's been well cared-for and never abused.
It's still in the truck, I plan to pull it as early as next week, so if you would like to drive it, contact me ASAP.
