Hey Piggy Faithful - Trying to check in on my old '76 FJ55 - Montecor

[Trapper50cal]

So, I traded nuclearlemon my Fj55 for an '83 FJ60, next it went to @bobm then to it's next owner who I can't recall.
A blue and white '76 with about 23lbs. of bondo in the tailgate.

I remember seeing pics of it headed to its new home a couple years ago, anyone know what I'm talking about?
Pretty sure it was someone here on Mud...

Man, have not seen you down here in some time!

Probably close to 20 years, if the dates on my trade to Ige for the 60 is any indicator.
Both of these pics are from 2007.

Sounds about right. Not sure why Bob is dragging his feet getting in here, I’m sure he’ll see this and chime in any time.

Thanks for the data

Nope, couldn't afford to if I wanted it.
Just feeling nostalgic and was curious to hear if that engine was still running good.

I'm pretty sure Ige put a regular intake and carb on it...IDK what I was thinking with the Offy and 4BBL. Thinking since it has a cam and was bored out, it was some sort of hotrod that needed way more gas.

 

[bobm]

Ya stock intake and carb when I got it. He has all floor pans and rockers for it. We did 1st Pig party in it back in 2017. Had a Blast.

On a 2F these are worth at least 4 hp. Maybe 6.

at least. LOL!

Final version for me had it outfitted with Camo LiveWires and DUI distributor as well...
We had the smallest jets with the fattest needles in that 4BBL and it was still rich. What a knucklehead.

Oh, and at least 4hp more due to the K&N Oil Filter (which later got a cylindrical finned aluminum heat sink shroud.)

 

[bobm]

All there when I got it except carb and manifold. Oh and finned aluminum thingy didnt last long
