Can I tie the valve cover vents line together at the throttle body? Originally the passenger side valve went to the air intake tube and driver side goes to the throttle body, but now the air tube only has three ports and I need four.

So, my buddy was able to help me with wiring harness so we trimmed it down to what we needed using the EWD from TIS. Found out that the FJ 40 and Tundra headlight plugs are the same, also the Tundra brake light switch will screw into the 40's mount. Just need to figure out the FJ 40's wiper...

With the help of a few BSLCA members, we got the motor positioned in the frame and began to fit the Tundra frame motor mounts. Plated the frame some and then trimmed the factory Tundra frame mounts to allow for the new motor placement. Tacked everything up and pulled the engine out to do some...

Cut down the stock motor mounts and used some bomb proof mounts in place of the isolators. Bolted the mounts in the drain holes in the 2UZ cast block mounts after making a smooth flat mounting surface. Cut off the shock mounts and cleaned alittle bit more on the frame. More pics...

Plan to use as much of the stock wiring as possible, with a minimum of tie ins.

Drop the motor into the frame rails today to get an idea for some motor mounts. PS pulley is to close to the shock mounts, may swap to some shock hoops.

Polished up the trans some with a soft wire wheel cup and grinder.

Got the motor freshened up today with new Asin water pump, thermostat, timing belt with new tensioner, new crank seal, serpentine belt, and valve covers seals. Swapped in some some 4.7 gears into a mini truck T-case and installed the rear disconnect for front digs. Then installed the...

Drove the tundra into the shop this morning and did a chop shop job on it. Pulled the drivetrain and wiring harness before loading up the rest to sell for scrap. FJ 40 pictures by John350Z71 - Photobucket

Mounted the 40" Trepadors on the H2 wheels and did some clearance checks, all looks good so far. Unable to flex it to much with just a floor jack, but I know its going to be tall.:frown: Also took one inch out of the 2 inch body lift, next is finish cleaning up the frame in prep for the engine...

Not sure what would work best at the moment. Was hoping the front Dana 60 was moved far enough forward that oil pan clearence was not an issue.

Looking to trade Front Sump for Rear I have a front sump 2UZ-FE and I need a rear sump oil pan SC400. Looking to trade the upper and lower pan, baffle, pick-up pipe, and dip stick for a complete rear sump set-up.

Like the auto and since all I need is the PreRunner adapter to attach the T-case no need to try to source and attach something else. Also have to see how long the drivetrain will be before deciding on dual or single case for the rear driveshaft angles. Will look into rear sump, also read about...

Picked up a new project, the FJ 40 from Hardline Crawlers forum: FJ40 Land Cruiser (Tons/Linked/v8 etc) PLUS LOTS OF PARTS Its a 73 frame with a aluminum tub, and cut front fenders. CUCV dana 60 front with 4.56 gears, Detroit locker, rear is a 14 Bolt 4.56 gears, gov't locker. Rear has been...
