Recently bought a 1985 FJ60 with a stock 3litre petrol 2F motor and 4 speed transmission. At 27, I want to make this guy a life project and work on him over the years. It runs like a beauty though I must admit, at 5km/litre he's a guzzler.
I would at some point like to fit a diesel motor and 5 speed transmission for better power and fuel efficiency and your post caught my attention. Did you succeed with th FJ40? What combination, old or new motors+transmission, fitted best without much engineering on the mountings..? The 12V to 24V work isn't much of concern, what else do I need to change e.g. fuel tank and fuselages..?
Thanks
