I searched and found just a couple threads, but nothing very detailed. I want to put 60 ps on my 55, but want to make sure I'm prepared. Engine is out, so I figure it's a good time to do it. Anyone have a detailed writeup and/or pics?
Mine will be 2f powered and sprung *under*. Stock suspension now, hope for custom springs down the road, still SUA, and 33s or 35s.
What parts do I need? I have an '83 fj60 box, column, shaft, pitman arm, hoses. I think I gave away the fj60 drag link. I'm using fj-60 knuckles for disk brake conversion, but have '79 fj-40/55 steering arms to retain the fj-40/55 tie rod. I could go with the 60 arms and shorten a 60 tie rod if it's better to fit the 60 drag link?
What about shock towers? Are F-250 towers the standard? Anyone have a p/n or model year to ask for?
I'm swapping in an fj-60 2f and have the stock p/s pump. Should I keep it or go ahead and use a saginaw pump?
Any other advice or resources?
thanks,
