Picked up the 61 today from @matzell . She looks great, runs great. I drive her almost 100 miles home without any drama. The 2F is a great motor. Doesn't smoke, pulls like a champ. Still running a little rich as my replacement carb from @Indygbd didn't make it in until after I left to pick her up. Tomorrow's project. I'll get some more pics up in a day or 2, life is crazy as I retire from the Navy and get set to head north.
Many thanks are in order. @ToyotaMatt for an overflow bottle and brass radiator drain. @65swb45 for the plastic fan conversion, the inbound 2" receiver hitch, and some of the seals for the motor. I have an F head gasket if anyone needs it. @FJ Noob for the solid motor and the interesting afternoon loading the beast up. @Indygbd for the super clean 72 carb to finish the repower job. @Tank5 for pulling a solid 3 speed off the shelf and sending it my way. @jmlockwood for the repro Toyota decal that I promise will go on shortly. @wngrog for keeping me inspired with all of the pics. @JackA for resurrecting this pile and giving her a new life. And @matzell for getting this thing done, with a resealed and replaced motor, resealed Trans and T-case, new clutch, tires, some body work on a too tight deadline, and figuring out the details of making a 61 work with 1985 dizzy and electrics. Too many pms from me, strong work from him. A pleasure.
We might have to work out some kind of trade when I am finished with my restoration! I like itJust because. I need to clean it, that's body shop dust behind the front fender, not terribly mismatched paint.
