Did you ever go through with the R2.8 Conversion? If so, any feedback? I spoke to a restoration shop in KS, and they have done 4 of them and tell me they won't do anymore on a FJ60. Their feedback was the engine always had Turbo engaged to keep it at highway speeds, etc. I am thinking they had a gearing or tuning issue, but was looking for any feedback.
I heard Torfab quit doing themA lot of reputable companies do 2.8 conversions in 60s and have great things to say about it. Torfab above and also Proffitt's Resurrection come to mind.
EXACTLY how I describe my Cummins 3.3. Always under boost (fine by me) but 3 and 4 gap in the hills is spot on, definitely catches youTurbo diesels are supposed to be on boost. A 12ht is making boost at almost all times except idle even coasting down hill in gear
The 2.8 doesn't have a lot down low but is happy up around 3k rpm starts running out of puff not long after
h55f should be fine just that 3rd to 4th gap will catch you out in the hills.
Imo more omf than a stock 12ht but not a huge jump.
Note the one I've been driving is euro5 spec and seems a slightly lower output than the crate engine 110kw 360mn vs 120 and 400 which would be a nice jump
