Motor City FJ40 Build (1 Viewer)

[motown fj40]

Well, Long time reader first time caller.....It started almost 20 years ago in South Dakota. I purchased the beast for $1250. A rough 1975 Mustard Yellow cruiser. Towed it home because the V8 was blown. Yep I said V8. Then life happens, get married, kid one, then kid two, then work moves, 5 states in 15 years. Then I find myself in early 40's with a little coin in pocket and some time. Now it is time to get the Beast on the road.

Nice project! What are your plans? Gonna stay v8? Go back original? And we all like photos.

I put a used crate 350 back in about 4 years ago. Got it running enough to drive it down the street sitting on a 5 gallon Home Depot bucket. (just enough to win a bet with my brother. Some of the best Ketal One I have ever drank...lol). Have not driven it since.
