Builds Metal Tech: LT's FJ40 Build Up (2 Viewers)

[LT]

Well lets see...

I have no emissions

HEI Dizzy

Hooker Headers

I have a resonator for a muffler

104 octane fuel

Timing advanced to 12 degrees at idle

It runs like a banshee

104 octane fuel probably does nothin for your rig

 

[calstyl2]

Im still figuring out how propain is 104 octane or is it a mix system

 

[Mace]

Propane has an Effective Octane of about 104. It is not a real octane rating, but a comparison.

Coming from someone that puts out 105 at idle

I thought octane added all kinds of HP.. Just like the guys that run K&N air filter which is good for at least 30 rear wheel HP..

Looking good LT... Are you going to have your junk ready for Katemcy next year?

 

[Mace]

I am gonna hook up a leaf blower supercharger to my motor.. Should be good for an extra 100 hp.

I was thinking about putting some hub cap spinners on. Should give me an additional 1000hp

Yeah. I am almost there, as long as other crap doesn't keep breaking on me which it will. Its going in for paint here real soon.

 

[CreeperSleeper]

I'm ready!!!

 

[redcorn]

I'd be down for some Hollow Point induced prep and paint work....be back in a few weeks.

 

[LT]

Not much prep is going into my rig. I decided not to paint it orange like the FZJ80 and FJC. My white trash side kicked in after having a 67' olive drab FJ40 in the shop. It will be getting the spray bomb treatment. Will have some minor prep work but thats about it.

 

[Enigma]

Looks pretty nice. Now to sidetrack, how many hours roughly do you get out of that fork lift tank?

 

[LT]

On 10 gallons I can do an entire full days worth of wheeling with some room to spare.

 

[redcorn]

huffing paint yet?

A Hollow Point and then half of a can of olive drab into a Fred Meyer bag does wonders for the quality of paint work on your 40

 

[LT]

You know John I couldn't figure out what the hell you meant by Hallow Point till I actually read the brand of that energy drink.

No huffing yet. I'm gonna start stocking up on that stuff this week.

 

[redcorn]

that stuff wired me out til 3 am.....

great for those latenight rock shows in portland

 

[projektdotnet]

Hey LT got a question for ya. Which propane conversion did you use? I am thinking about doing it on my 74 that I've been working on since it's going to be trail only.
