Looking for that special something
Im looking for a variety of things.
1. I am looking for a used f engine complete minus the carb. I'm looking for one relativly cheap and relativly clean. No wrecks or anyhting like that. I'll pick it up if you wnat to get rid of it.
2. Looking for any way to confirm what i think is an sm 420 i don't have a digital camera so please be descriptive.
3. Looking for a clutch for a 1968 fj40. Any brand any style need everything to do a change. (throw out bearing, clutch plate, ect ect ...)
4. Wondering if a rumor is true. Heard that you should switch to an 11 inch chevy clutch when you install a sm420 into a 1968 land crusier. Wondering if this is true or not. If it is can you put the 11 inch in before you put the sm420 in
5. Will you have to do any exstensive work to fit the sm40 into a land crusier. (lengthening front drive shaft, relocate cross memeber) anything you can think of no matter how small or insugnificant.
6. A right side front fender would be nice. if its rusty if it's beat up got dents, either have one or know where to find one doesn't matter as well as the right side step thing that is not diamond plated.
7. The adapter to put an sm420 up to the land cruiser 3 speed tansfer case.
I am doing a full out 5 day restoration on a crusier for my brother so i can suprise him when he gets back from his trip. Anyhting is welcome and speed is the name of the game. Im looking for the engine to rebuild it then hook everything up to it (tranny, transfer case ect) and do a full engine swap before he gets home. I have the tools, just not the know how or the parts. All it needs is a front fender and that little rocker panel thinging that is a step. its not diamond plated tough, other than that the body is perfect.
Thanks for listening to me for so long any info is greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Merc
