Hey Mud! Although I'm new to the forum, I'm a longtime lurker and Toyota truck enthusiast! I've been cruising the Classifieds, Craigslist, Autotrader, etc. for a rust-free FJ60 to do a 6BT/NV4500 swap into.
I just have a couple of questions.
1. Is a SOA required to fit the 6BT? - All of the builds I have seen used a SOA to fit the 6BT motor. Is a SOA required? Or could you use a 2" body lift and a 3" suspension lift to clear the oil pan?
86 fj60 with 35s without doing spring over
2. Is there any particular shop you would recommend to do a 6BT/NV4500 swap into an FJ60? Preferably one that has done them before and has a great reputation for service. Right now I am looking at Home Classic Cruisers and Home - Proffitt's Resurrection Land Cruisers.
Here's some FJ60 6BT porn for your trouble. Thanks to Mud members Elbert, jakerudy, 1TallTXn, and cumminscruiser for sharing their build threads and knowledge!!!
