I don't post much
I'd appreciate any info I can get-
I'm planning to swap a tbi 350 out of an '89 Chevy suburban into my 1983 fj60. I'm going to use an AA ranger torque splitter OD and I'm toying with the idea of buying an Australlian lo-ratio tranny from Man a fre to replace my stock 4 speed. While I have everything torn apart I'm going to throw on Man a fre's 4" OME lift and shackle reversal kit.
I'm going to be using my rig for work driving around the desert in southern California, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah. Not much hardcore wheeling, but I'll be out in the middle of the desert alone. I need it to be safe and reliable- breaking down in the middle of nowhere sucks!
Does anyone know of any gremlins I'm going to run into doing this swap? I'm not going to have a lot of time to get it done- around a month, so if I could anticipate any problems it would be very helpful. Is anyone running a similar motor? Any problems with the serpentine belt system fitting? Will I need to use an electric fan? What wiring harness did you use? Do you use an O2 sensor? Any idea if I will need to get new drivelines after the 4" lift?
Cheers for your help!
