FJ60 engine swap

[FJ40Jim]

Guys,
I'll be swapping a 2F w/ low oil pressure out of my FJ60 this weekend. Have a fully dressed 2.5F to go in its place.

If anybody can help, I'll need an extra hand for removing/installing the hood, frt end, engine, bumper w/ winch. You know, the heavy awkward stuff. I can take care of all the hoses & wires meself.

So call or email or PM if you're interested in watching/ learning or helping. I'll be in the shop working on it all day & night friday & sunday, all day saturday 'til 4pm.

Hey Jim,

I'll come up Saturday. What time do you plan to start? Guess I can bring that 3FE head up with me too.

Nice looking motor but where's the oil cooler?

Oh, there it is. I like to paint my motors not black so I can see stuff... ;p

I painted the big oil cooler banjo bolts silver. does that count?

I'll be out in the shop burning wood by 10AM.
Or rather, i'll be burning wood at 9AM, so it will be warming up by 10am.

I can swing out Sunday afternoon if you still need a hand...

 

[FJ40Jim]

Speaking of painting so I can see stuff, I'd like to spray bomb the engine bay white for that reason, while the engine is out. The whole nose will be off the truck, cause there's a better front clip to go on it after the engine is dropped in (see avatar.)

 

[FJ40Jim]

Steve, you can come down, but you have to drive the HJ47.;p

[FJ40Jim]

We can't do your valves this weekend, 'cause it's gonna be cold outside and the engine swap will be taking up the entire shop.

Maybe next weekend?
