My third

[Living in the Past]

Don't know if I just post pictures here or in the for sale. This is just one of many I plan on selling. Have a interested party so for now it's not officially for sale yet.

 

[Living in the Past]

few more

OK, I'll give you $15 million dollars>>>>>>>>>>>end of price discussions. I'm sure John is just posting up pictures because he hasn't shared them before. If you are doing it to sell, I can move you over to the well travelled and often viewed 25 classifieds, let me know.

Which # is this one in the count?

The plan is to sell it but right really posting for a possible buyer. After that I will price it and you can moved it to the for sale section. The price is 16 million OBO, so I have a price for the for sale section. I did locate a head , valve cover, intake and exhaust off a FJ25 that will go with it. Plus one of Fox's repo VIN tags since this one was missing it. It does a clear AZ title.


This one is number 15 in th count.

So the front motor mount plate. Is that stock Toyota or someone's idea of a better way to do things?

I think Toyota was planning on future V8 transplant making it easier to to do not have to deal with the old front motor mounts. It's clear the casting was in the bolt for the normal motor mounts.

I know of four things that changed doing the 60 model year.

1. The tool box got shorter.
2. The front motor mount change.
3. The front crossmember change. (this one has the old style shown in the first picture)
4. The motor went from F120 to F135.

Nick, that cradle (saddle) mount always bothered me. The motor definetely came before the FJ so maybe the mount was an engineered hack to make it fit the BJ chassis mounts? Looks like an early V8 conversion doesn't it?

Like John said, the tappings are there for the later motor mount. Here it is in all it's glory, notice the rectangular cut for the generator bottom bracket to pass through it.

 

[zebrabeefj40]

Thanks for the info on the front motor mounts. Yes it does look like a drag race motor mounting system. Since I hadn't seen one before I figured I'd ask.

Just have to ask since no one else has, is the engine quieter with the timing gears that way?

Not mine, better safe than sorry. It still goes tick-tick-tick like a F should.........actually it's a lot quieter than mine.

 

[Living in the Past]

I guess it's my computer screen and bad eyes. Guessing this is Fox's time gear replacement and what looks like meshed gears is a silver grease?

 

[zebrabeefj40]

I'm guessing the grease is Lubriplate. I've talked to quite a few folks who use that as a rebuild lube vs. a purpose made assembly lube like the Felpro or cam manufacturers sell.
