F125 Motor

[JBP1979]

Hello All. My name is Joe. I'm in the process of rebuilding a 74 Cruiser with the F155 transition 3.9l motor. Part of my rebuild will include rebuilding the original motor. I have a spare F125 motor I got from a friend. I was considering dropping the 125 in so I can have a little fun while I rebuild the 155. I know the 125 was an import from Japan and was possibly in a fire truck. I'm having a hard time getting info or specs for this engine. Any help would be much appreciated. The serial # is F271195. There are quite a few other casting numbers on the block and housings but I won't list all of those unless they are needed. Thanks in advance!

We got the F120 in the FJ25 until mid 1960 when the F135 started. Not sure if the F120 made it here in any forklifts. @JohnnyC might know. The 25 section would be a better place ask the question about the early F engines. My guess is if it was off a fire truck it would have been a 20 series truck.

That serial number would probably
Be a late f135 or early f145
