Final 2F build

This was more or less my inspiration for the design

Fluid Heat Riser Kit for 1968-1974 Toyota Land Cruisers with F-Engines - Landcruiser Parts

Fluid Heat Riser Kit for 1968-1975 Toyota Land Cruisers with F-Engines. Recommended to run on your F-Engine if you live in a cold climate.

I think I used 1/4 flat aluminium flat plate and 1/2" brass fittings 90 from home despot. I got the metric bolts from them too, I cut the gasket from a sheet of heavy gasket paper from NAPA. This was done in about 1991.

I'll add some pictures later today.

My dad was an aviation guy. He told me an electric blower would be the ticket for Elsie to meet the occasional need for more power. Personally I'm a big fan of turbo chargers - plan ahead to make up for turbo lag. Driving is a job and requires thought.

If you think you might need 4WD - turn in the hubs. Tire chains are much easier to put on if you can drive onto them before you are stuck.

If you think you might need carburator heat turn it because if you wait too long it might not work. When I move to the hill I would ice the carb on the long grade to town in the winter. I built a fluid heat riser for the intake due to running a header. Problem solved - I can't recall icing up since.

You mean de ice? Average temp here's sbout 68 so not too worried. The other way, that stainless header's going to get hot...

In WWII fighter planes, when at high altitude, they would shoot Nitrous Oxide to supplement the blowers…..maybe a Nitrous injection kit is in order. And at sea level, would accelerate like a Ferrari

Rooti toot toot...
Finally got rid of that 2f sewing machine whine...

All this time i thought boggy accelleration was from the 2f carb: It was the tank, perforated with rust.

...sundry adventures getting Colombia style SOAT insurance. Passport # didnt match the one on my reg, so off to the Fiscalia + etc etc to report the change. I'm the only one out of 9 billion peeps on the planet wanting to pay my insurance and *STILL* I could be somebody else. Got it straightened out and went to a kiosk to pay cash, fingers crossed, praying there wasn't another curve ball on its way, and - THERE WAS! System wouldn't process the payment without a cedula. Fortunately I had an old one I annulled in 2018 - (NEVER throw anything out!). Plugged in the number, with everything crossed, and - IT WORKED.
The good news, one year for $300. Back home it's $1,300.
