Have you called Bob @ TPI and asked him about this?

He's been out, supposed to be back in tomorrow, going to give him a ring.

I think it may just need to advance the timing a bit, gonna try that as soon as I can get my hands on a light.

Also...you get my PC about weber pedal pics? Gotta drill the firewall and I am skeered...

Mechanic did a full wet/dry compression test today. Results were not good.

Cyl 1: 100dry, 110wet
Cyl 2: 100dry, 120wet
Cyl 3: 100dry, 110wet
Cyl 4: 95dry, 100wet
Cyl 5: 80dry, 100wet
Cyl 6: 85dry, 95wet

Would Georg be the guy to contact about finding another 2F? All my reading says Toyota lists 115 as the minimum...

 

[Fireman]

Does it not have very much power?

 

[ntsaint]

Under load it has zero power. Completely dies.

 

[wngrog]

$4300

 

[ntsaint]

Nah already started a goergle search for a new 2F

 

[MEMCruiser]

If wngrog is offering 4300 I will pay 5000. I'm your buyer. I am famous for paying too much for stuff. JK.

I have not done a compression test because I'm afraid of the results.

Good luck.

I have a hot rod 2F. Will trade for a 5.3.

 

[ntsaint]

What's a hot rod 2f?

 

[FJ60Cam]

A JimC rebuild. With TBI conversion. It will peg the speedo!

 

[fountainhead]

What's a hot rod 2f?

An oxymoron.

 

[FJ60Cam]

An oxymoron.

Wanna race for pinks?

I know your are trying to keep it fairly stock, but there is no way I would (personally) go back with a 2F. Not saying it isn't a great motor, very reliable, ect....can't say anything bad about it except that it is heavy. Granted it would be a lot easier. After driving Srob's around town I would love to have more power in my 40.

 

[ntsaint]

I guess I'm open to anything. Problem is right now is very bad timing. Just signed a contract to build a shop at the house, so an extra $3-5k is gonna be a problem...

 

[wngrog]

Agree. A nice simple V8 swap is the answer

 

[ntsaint]

A nice simple V8 swap is $$$$ right?

And what else gets swapped? Everything, right??
