Wife & I decided to keep FJ40 and are doing the restomod using the 3FE engine, 5 speed transmission, and 60 series axles with disc brakes! I just got back from a trip from NC to VT to Cruiser Parts to get my stuff; see pics.
I also picked up a small AL gantry crane to roll in and out of my garage.
What easily obtainable engine works for a fully assembled 6 cylinder?
How do you guys assemble the drive train? I need to mock up the drive train to the frame to ensure all the mounts work and move the cross member aft. I heard that you have to put the engine on the ground and slide transmission and transfer case together?
Any tips or hard lessons learned on the 3FE will be appreciated.
