Engine Question

[MtnAddict]

Are the 1F engines stamped “F” and 2F engines stamped “2F” on the block? I have a 1972 and the engine is F282533. Looking at these two websites, little bit of a discrepancy for years (pre 1969 on SOR and 1978 on lcnation) unless I am reading it wrong.

Thoughts?

FJ40 Engine Numbers

Toyota didn't include engine numbers on the build plate or VIN plate. So how do you know if your FJ40 engine is the original engine. Well, technically you don't unless it's a V8 or something obviously swapped. Many FJ40's have had engine transplants. <p> I've added a page to www.lcnation.com...

Just trying to figure fluid requirements/capacity on everything before I start changing.

You can check the casting number:
Casting Number Deciphering (FJ40jim)

casting number is on the manifold side of engine...

example: 11202

Yr / month / day

1971 / December / 2nd .... or .... 1981 / December / 2nd

Btw yes F is F … 2F is 2F

A 72’ block would have been in the 375xxx to 410xxx range or there abouts
