Project FJ40

[locktup]

I sold off the last 4Runner that I had for 6 months. I wanted to build something different. Here it is, its a 1970 FJ40.

Nice 40.....you sold off the '85 you got from Dave?

[locktup]

Dave is buying it back. He said he couldn't bear to part with it . Since I've already built a 4Runner I thought I would go at a 40.

Nice!

Keepin' it in the family. I look forward to seeing what you create out of the 40.

I'm not going to chop it up. I will leave the factory engine, trans & t-case. I don't want to change the interior or the body. I will build a new cage.

Looks like it's in great shape, should be a fun project. Keep us posted.

I'm going to leave it with Dave this Saturday for a rewire and a look up the tail pipe. He said it should only take a few hour and he said I could wait for it .

Make sure to take him up on a loaner if he offers it!

I just dropped the FJ off at Davez. He is going to rewire it and he's going to put TBI Injection on. I figure it will help out the factory 6 cyl engine at altitude of 6000' and not to mention it wont flood out on hill climbs and off camber spots.

Dave can you post pictures as you go please. Dave said with the injection it should add at least 100hp. So when its all done I should have somewhere around 105hp
