What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

[bikersmurf]

$30 Motorcraft 2150 2bbl off a 77' ford 302, rebuild kit $19.
Removed the auto choke and added a $9 manual choke.
Added a $25 holley adapter on the bottom to mate to a F or 2F
will mount on a 2f and use a $20 universal accelerator cable to attach to the top of the pedal and carb linkage.
Dropped in some new jets $5.. a#45, #46 - these are so simple. I have one on a FJ40 V8, one of the best mods for mpg and ease of starting and no flat spots.
Just have to try it out over the holidays for fun and see how it compares to my Aisin carb on a desmogged 76'2f.

Looking forward to hearing how it works out... And trying it some day on my 350. May have to pick your brains on jetting when that day comes.

My cousin is doing some bodywork for me:

 

[ethernectar]

Installed new CCOT mirrors, Four+ bumper/carrier and new brake/turn signals. Building a storage platform tomorrow.

Now need to get the turn signal indicators (dash) lights to work...

I started it - fired up on the first try (after 3 months of standing around in desert heat)

Spent mucho money

Bought new (old) engine, 15BE, completely striped the 5 chrome bullet rims and painted with black epoxy...My Christmas present.

 

[Volcanic Iceberg]

Wrapped up the last few loose ends with the 2F swap and started it up. First time hearing it run after buying it 2 years ago.

New Doetsch Tech shocks on all four corners, and steering stabilizer. Rides nice!

 

[skidplate]

Picked up OEM jack, rods, and mounts for FREE! Made up redneck mount for jack, but I don't care, I'm happy.

Very nice work! I'm doing the same thing with my 3B/H55/toybox/splitcase

Getting ready to replace the side gasket on my 71. Thanks to poser for his excellent post about this.

Bit difficult to tell (because your image is blurry Awl_TEQ) but is your bleeder on your filter inlet?

If so, I believe the consensus on the diesel forum is that it should always be on the outlet.

PS. I've always dreamt of finding a perfect/unused 3B or 13BT crate engine and your engine looks just like that.

Yup, you are correct. It is currently on the inlet. Not through any purposeful action but because I was just too excited when I was assembling to think it through. Thank you for your eagle eyed observation.



This is what I started with...

That is one of the coolest looking bumpers I have ever seen. Great job.

For sure....badass!
