For Sale Seattle WA; 1978 parting 2F, Downey FI, 4 speed and transfer case

[RstBckt]

Vehicle Model

1. 40 Series

1978 FJ40 2F with Downey fuel injection (GM TBI), saginaw pump, high torque starter, all accessories + 4 speed trans + 4 speed transfer case.

It runs but not well. Burning oil and some valves are leaking. Started cutting out on me while driving. Around my property low speeds its fine. Leakdown test is no bueno. Time for a full rebuild and I'm repowering. This was my daily driver until the engine started giving me issues when it warmed up.

Comes with header, fan, newer fan clutch, newer rebuilt PS pump, fuel injection, alternator, starter. Trans and transfer case work well. New parking brake and seal. I'm going to leave it in the truck for now if you want to drive it on my driveway/easement road, registration ran out, we can probably spin it around the neighborhood. You can have the whole exhast too, if you want it. I'll pull when ready or as soon as I have space, replacing the head gasket on my 80 right now. Would like to sell all at once but willing to separate engine, transmission, transfer.

Engine serial is 227359. I put it in the registry on Mud

yes, that's the carb cooling fan housing converted to my intake

You've mounted the MAP sensor lower than the throttle body, it must be mounted higher/above the throttle body, that might make the rig run better ???.

I didn't realize. Thanks!
Well its wore out and not holding much vacuum on leakdown but I'll move it anyhow.

Price drop $1400. Planning on pulling in the next 2 weeks and palletizing the engine and trans/transfer separately so I can fork with tractor

History has shown that you will make a lot more $$$ if you part out. With that said, I'd be interested in a price on the complete fuel injection system, and the power steering pump/mounting bracket/pulley system, lemme know. And my guess is you would easily cross your $1400 threshold when selling the 4 speed tranny/transfer- - -easy deal.

Downey FI pulled $300. What you see is what you get. Couple notes, I think one of 3 computers is NFG, 1 plug wire is broken, at the fuse block I had tied in the cars power and cut it off so you'll probably need a new block or similar. I don't know if it was something in the ignition or my flat wore out engine but it was hard starting when warm.

Comes with original instructions and receipt from previous owner in 2008.

I can ship, you cover cost. The fuel lines break down and have 1 joint each.

send me your email address, I want to see if I can use a different credit card to pay you. My checking account and debit card are presently screwed up due to a costly $3,000.00 mistake a restaurant made.
