Hello all. I have a 1969 fj40, I am addressing an oil leak from the front main seal and timing cover. the previous owner has welded the pulley to the crankshaft, making this simple task a complicated issue. I am now standing at a crossroad, replace the crankshaft and associated parts, reassemble and enjoy. Or upgrade drivetrain to a more common power plant and go with a v8? What are the considerations with the upgrade? transmission to consider. Will the rest of the drivetrain be able to manage the HP upgrade? I am seeking some wisdom from experience to help me out.
Thank you in advance.
Andy
