hello,
I am in the process of fitting a diesel into my 40 and not everything is line up yet so I am not placing an ad yet--
I figured I would share the info on the forum to give some time before it actually goes up for sale so it is still sitting in my 40 at the mo. Its not everyday that a complete running drivetrain including the entire exhaust becomes available.The link above is to my build on my forty including the motor so yo can have a look and see the new parts still in the bag!
The bad---The gearbox howls in all gears---I have heard they can be noisy and I have no insulation or soundproofing material but I think it is quite loud
the xfer case works in 4wd and low range
no popping out of gear or any other probs noted
the 2f runs great, I have been running it a couple months now until I put it in for a paint job
it has all brand new Toyota OEM clutch parts ---pilot bearing, throw out, pressure plate, and clutch I also changed the rear main and oil pan seal and the motor does not leak a drop
The carb and dizzy were rebuilt by FJ40 Jim on IH8MUD.Com--this guy is an expert on old cruiser carbs and dizzy's
A Rebuilt Toyota OEM 55 amp alternator from SOR.COM
New OEM Water pump
Dual pulleys allows the use of the saginaw power steering pump which is mounted on the engine now
A MANAFREE ceramic coated header exhaust with complete new front to back exhaust system and muffler
A water heated replacement for the old exhaust carb warm up duct which went with the old exhause manifold for the header change
I purchased the motor from someone recommended to me on the iH8MUD forum and it is a 1979 2F, It was stated as having 65K miles on it at the time but I cannot confirm that as fact. It doesnt smoke or burn oil and has good compression and pulls well in my 71
If anyone is interested and would like to ask anything feel free---but just remember the diesel could fall through and I dont want to diappoint anyone
