For Sale SBC V8 Ranger 2 Speed FJ40 Conversion Utah, USA (1 Viewer)

I've decieded to sell the SBC V8 and Ranger 2 Speed overdrive currently in my '74 FJ40 in an effort to return to Toyota power. Included in the sell are the following items:

SBC V8
Edelbrock 4bbl Carb
Distributor
Accessory belts and pulleys
Exhaust manifolds
Altenator self-regulating
Ron Davis Racing aluminum radiator
Radiator hoses
Ranger 2-Speed Overdrive
Clutch (Slave cylinder not included)
Advance Adaptors Ranger OD Manual
Advance Adaptors Engine Conversion Kit Instruction Manual
Downey V-8 Conversion Manual

I don't have a ton of factual detail about the motor or the install. A close friend of mine aquired the rig 2-1/2 years ago from his father in law when he passed away. The rig lived most of its live in Kanab, UT. The old man did the conversion I'm being told around 15 years ago. The manuals I have from advance adapters are dated 1999 & 2000, so this supports the story. Word is it wasn't driven much over the years. I'd be surprised if 10,000 miles total since install. I don't have engine build details but the motor does run strong and fires up easily. Sounds tough too! Power output id guesstimate around 180-200hp. Definately not a hot rod, but in combination with the OD makes for a great cruising engine. Maintaining 70 is pretty easy at around 2600 rpm. My motivation here really is to go back to Toyota power. I suppose you could say I'm more of a purist.

This is a pretty legit setup and for the right guy is probably a great find. Really trying to market this as a complete package here.

 

[BWC1984]

I'm asking $2500 for the whole package. I really don't want to split up the motor and transmission as I think it is better sold as a package. My guess is $200-$300 would ship most places state side.

Let me know your thoughts and questions. PM me if you want personal contact info so we can talk or text.

Thanks, and my name is Bryce

Your description reads Edelbrock and the pictures show a Weber carb.

I certainly understand the desire to go back with Toyota, but that setup just looks like it belongs there. A nice clean install . . . and if it works well, then . . . ?

It's your truck. Good luck with the sale.

Sure looks like a clean installation to me! Several of my friends run the ranger overdrive unit and yes it does indeed make highway driving easier more pleasant.

This was my thought too.

Yeah good call. The front of the carb has a shiney Edelbrock logo of which i now realise I did not photograph. The casting shows Weber. Perhaps Weber builds this unit for Edelbrock? I'll snap a photo tomorrow when its light out.

I'll be going diesel power with the new motor. I like the simplicity, the fact that it will be Toyota power (3B), and the torque for wheeling.

Yeah thank you, the installation is very clean. I spent some time cleaning up some wiring but overall a very nice job. I'm thinking this would be the cats meow for some cruiser guy looking to increase power and driveability. Anyway, I'm comitted to making the change so here we go...

A couple questions, Can you pin point which small block this is? Casting numbers on the block, rear of engine above the bell housing. Also the build stamp, rh side front of block. Heads, a photo of the front can identify. Also is it an overdrive only or an overdrive/underdrive. Do the modified drivelines come with sale. Answers to these questions might help with your sale.

Pardion, thank you for the direction. I've included photos in hopes that they will answer most of your questions. As for the transmission, it is a two speed with first being a direct drive and second being an overdrive. (I thinks its a 17% od) Since it sits in front of the factory 4 speed you can essentially split each gear with the OD providing 8 forward speeds and 2 reverse speeds. Its also worth mentioning that this setup allows the factory 4 speed, transfer case and drivelines to remain in their original positions, therefore not requiring modifications. So drivelines are not included in this sale. You can use the existing.

Wow! Thanks for the information!! I didn't realise this was available.

 

[BrianSanDiego]

Your welcome. I'm not certain it's correct but it looks right. Shows HP numbers which are higher than you suspected, which is nice, and it looks like a good torque-y motor. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong...
