Big deal ... that just means I need to be nice to Dan. Which reminds me. I need to hit those 3FEs in Santa Fe.

But he is the Shaman.
The Shaman is the shaman because he knows who to call when he can't get something...

I know ... like a R151F bell housing.
Have a new one in hand from Japan for an R151F rebuild we are doing on a 2006 HZJ78.
Did Mr. Miller just go to a salvage yard in Australia and buy all their LC stock? What about that place in Salida that was for sale a while back. He had a good collection of stuff too. He even had a PS pump and smog pump for my 60 that took a crap on the way to the HDC trip a few years back.
I just sent one to Alabama. The bloke is not going to use it because he is putting it behind a 1HD-T, so I'm sure I can get him to pass it on.
There is a 3FE at Capitol Scrap in Santa Fe Jon. What would it take to buy you a beer one day and pick your brain about converting my 2F in Lexie to a 2FE?

Ya, David said there might be more than one. Have you seen my PDF? That is a place to start. Otherwise, pick a time and I'll be glad to meet someplace to discuss the 2FE. Love my engine.
I have not seen your PDF, but tehn I have not reeally looked for it either. Can you email it to me? My email is joshboltrek at Yahoo dot com dot au.
I'd love to see your engine. Dan S raves about it (and he rarely raves about anything which runs on anything with a fuel one can see through). Are you in Santa Fe much? If not, maybe I can talk you into bringing it to the next HDC meeting
I really like the idea of a 2FE as it allows me to keep the same engine number. If we do move back to Oz in three years, then it will be a piece of cake to bring Lexie back so long as she has the same engine.
I am pretty keen to keep the gas system too, and I think I can adapt it from my carb to run with the fuel injection.

This will get you started. I'm still working on it, mostly fuel pump issues.
Wow, that is fantastic!
I had the same fuel problem when I did the Vortec conversion on Patches. It seemed like every in-line pump I used would result in starvation issues in some situation/temp/load. It was not until I broke down and put a factory Chevy fuel pump in the tank using all associated lines, etc. that I was finally rid of the starvation issues. Is it something which is worth doing in a conversion here?
I'm not familiar with the FJ62 in-tank pump (I assume it is in-tank), but if it would fit in your under-seat tank, I wonder if that would solve it? I would probably try that route on my LX as it is an '84 and so has the tank between the frame rails.
The problem I will have is that I want to keep this rig as my daily driver and use the block which is in there currently. My plan will be to find a cheap 2F to chuck in there and then re-build my current engine at a somewhat leisurely pace. The low-end should be very strong though as iit only has about 80,000 miles on it. Of course, I have no idea how many hours at idle, given it was a fire truck.

Wow - nice document. I hadn't seen that yet. I still think that's one of the nicest looking motors I've seen.
Makes me want to run out and build one! OK, not quite...

gents, perhaps start a new thread on the topic of engine bastardization?
Hi Everyone, A few of you know me here, but I thought I would formally introduce myself... SandiaFJ40 is my handle. I go by C.J. My rig is a '75 FJ40 that I have been working on for a while now. It's getting close to being done, so I might as well post up a picture or two. Beno is a friend and jstincse is not far from my house... DanS HJ-45 is a friend as well... Looking forward to meeting you guys soon!
Is that a Full Float Rear axle I spy there? Or just some goofy hub cover?
CJ's got a sweet friggin ride!!
Goofy hub cover... However, there is a mechanical locker in the rear
Either way it is a nice looking truck
