Come this Monday I will bringing home a 73 FJ 40 it's a bit rough but has some good modifications to it. The motor is a small block 350 Chevy the transmission is cast iron and looks to possibly be an SM 420 and the transfer case is most likely stock. The seller bought the rig as a fixer upper that he never got around to fixing up so he knows very little about the vehicle so I'd like some help identifying the trans and xfer case. sorry no pictures yet.
This is my first post here but as a little back ground about myself I bought my first Land Cruiser new in 1978, my second was a 73 back in the early 80's and now the latest. Someone has done a spring over axle swap on it and it has 33'' tires, a full roll cage and a winch, the body is fairly solid with only bits of rust here and there. The wiring harness is out of it so I will have the headache of sorting that out and getting it running again after a few years of it laying dormant. I look forward to the advice I will get on this forum as this project move along.
