fj55 wasting away

[the gimpey one]

Anyone know anyone else who may be interested in a fj55? I did some sleuthing today and found the one i mentioned in easley area. It is a 74 fj55. Motor is blown/dead 1fz . According to the owner that and hoses dry rotted are the only thing wrong with it. He talked like he had some extra parts as well. I asked him what he would like to get out of it and he said 3. I imagine he meant 3k but who knows. I had left him a note to call me so at the time i did not have permission to go onto his property but it is red and white. I have a pic on my phone but can't seem to send it to my email maybe trollhole or dohcdelsol can help me out. Anyway if anyone is interested i can point u in the right direction. Gabe

1F I presume. Or really a 1FZ?
If the latter I might be interested. Def. interested in hearing whats behind it and what else it needs.
I got a 1fz ready to drop in if thats all it needs. If someone else wants to follow this route as well,Ill make a deal on the motor to UC members. But im guessing a 1F.

I bet it is a 1F.

My guess is 1F, I have only seen 1 person attempting a 1FZ in a 40 and I would assume that the 55's engine bay would be very close to the dimensions of the FJ40, and would be a difficult swap. If one had gone that far it wouldn't make sense for it to "waste away" as that would be a colossal waste of someone's time, talent and $$$
