Long time FJ40 fan and now on my 2nd one. The last one I had was in high school 30 yrs ago. I am currently in the trenches of a complete nut and bolt resto-mod on my 1978. So far I have the frame sandblasted and painted , modified for power steering, rebuilt axles, knuckles, brakes, rear disc conversion, and it’s now a roller. After many months of indecision on what power train to use I have decided to go with the 5.3 LS so that I can get a 4L60e automatic...I’ve shifted enough gears in my life, and my wife or kids might want to drive it. I am having a lot of trouble finding any information on what is needed, and where to mount the LS motor and transmission, all in one place. A guy could spend a whole week combing through the threads to find what he’s looking for but I have come up empty handed. Any info or direction would be much appreciated. Also, I should have a Topnault complete tub, front fenders, hood, and windshield frame delivered by the end of the week and will give my review once I do. Pictures are of when I got it and what it looks like today.
