Hello All,
I am in the process of rebuilding the drive train of my 1964 Landcruiser FJ40 . I am installing a small block chev 350 and a four speed tranny. I would like your advice on what carburetor to use (presumable 4 barrel with two primary and two secondary,) and what aftermarket intake manifold. I have rams head exhaust manifolds. Likewise before this rehab I installed a power steering system and would like to upgrade that to a better systems, what parts would you recommend?
I will need a deeper {thicker) radiator to handle the larger volume of water and would like to know what radiators work best with a chev 350 for as near as possible to do a drop in on the mounting brackets of the Cruiser. If mounting brackets need to be made this can be done. The tub is separated from the frame and engine train. The frame will be cleaned and repainted or coated. Your thoughts on coating?
Is there a way to put in a larger gas tank under the passenger seat, and if so which one? The tub when installed will be 2 inches higher that original placement because of need to accommodate the transmission . Or put in a second gas tank somewhere under the tub and if so what type and location and gas filling hook up and transfer of fuel .
I am leaning toward bucket seats and would like to know what works best.
You help and consultation will be greatly appreciated.
