Long time guest and finally joined the group. Picked up a 77 Fj40 many months ago that someone wasn’t able to get back together. So much good info on here that’s been extremely helpful so far.
The engine was full of water when I bought the project. Still working the breaking it free but in mean time I sourced a 2F with power steering holes as I was planning to just get it on the road asap then restore/build from there. The more I think about it the more I want a diesel I think. I’m just a diesel fan boy I guess. But I want to keep as many toyota parts as possible on it.
The question or advice I’m seeking is whether I should throw a 3Bii with turbo in there or just freshen up the newer 2F? It seems the transmission/transfer case is the only thing holding me back on committing to the swap in that I don’t want to get out of control with the money I’m throwing at this. Can I just rebuild my 4 speed with 4speed parts to fit the 3B? Or will my current transfer case fit the B series 4 speed if I can source one?
Thanks in advance.
