I have a 12/73 FJ40 with what I understand to be the last iteration of the F engine. A friend is v8 swapping his 1984 60 and I picked up his original 2F. Plans were to rebuild, de-smog and install into my 40. There's nothing wrong currently with the F engine, but I was under the impression that some rebuild parts were NLA.
Plans so far:
Use F intake/exhaust manifold/Carb (until Sniper EFI install)
De-smog and sell any smog components from the 2F ( I live in CA but dont need to be smog compliant. My rig never came with any of the smog equipment )
utilize 2F power steering pump for PS upgrade
Reason I bring this up is I saw a lot of threads saying dont de-smog a 2f and I want to back out now before I throw too much money at it.
