dunkane 1964 fj40 restore thread (1 Viewer)

Dunkane is it the crossover engine? the f.5?

if your looking for a good engine the f.5's are the most durable...basicly an F engine with the oiling of the 2f engine.

or is it like the earlyer F and has the external oil filter on the manifold side of the engine?

i'll make a picture of the engine, but it's engine from a 1973/1974 fj40...

 

[My wife said no FJ!]

Yes, you can easily keep the engine you have in your '64. Actually, with a little work, you can make it "look" like the F135 by changing the valve cover, and possibly fabricating an oil fill with the side cover

Send us pictures of that engine

hello everybody !
is someone could give me the information about this picture, because i can see 2 tail light on the hard top..in the beginning i was thinking it was non oem, but i've somes also on mine, but just the attach of those...they no more exist.

 

[JohnnyC]

definatly not an oem thing....i have seen a few like that also...mainly because the brackets on the frame ends get smashed wheeling a few times
