Decided on TorFab and delivered the 86 FJ 60 with 231K miles in September to his new shop in Everett,Wa. Flew to SeaTac on Dec 12th to pick it up and spent some time with Tor in his shop and got the run down on all that goes into one of these conversions. Amazing job and looks factory if you ask me. Tor has a system that is very professional and clean. From the motor mounts and custom fan shroud the custom cold air intake and 80 series evap canister set up plus the water tight fuse box, just to name a few of the impressive fit and finish details. Very neat exhaust/ cat system with incredible pipe bends welds and fitting that comes out on the correct side and looks like you could stick your head in the large tail pipe.....Sounds incredible with the ZO6 cam installed and tuned. I recall a comment some where on MUD that in part said I would be disappointed with the low end performance with the ZO6 in the 5.3 WOW was that guy blowing exhaust fumes! It is snappy all thru the 4 speeds and really spools up quick, sorta turbo like compared to what I was used to, if you know what I mean.....As in night and day.
Currently driving the Mocha Cruiser home via Bend Oregon as my daughter and family live here and will spend Christmas here. So far this conversion is running great and have received plenty of comments and a fair share of just open mouthed looks when putting the gas to this beast.
Will post picks when I get back to Colorado after Christmas. Merry Christmas to all and this is the best gift ever....Thanks Tor!!
