88 FJ62 Rebuild and LSX Swap

[NCFJ]

Hot in the shop yesterday

 

[NCFJ]

Power and ground buses for interior needs current and future. Mounted in drivers kick panel

Door panels are being re covered. The ash tray on the lower panel is being replaced with this unit. Owner has two kids with lots of electrical gadgets. One will also be mounted high on the back of center console for access when seat is folded down

Ahhhh to be an old shop dog on a rainy day

Very clean.

Are those the AA headers? Or?

 

[NCFJ]

They are Hooker block huggers

 

[NCFJ]

Dash lamp harness before termination and then fully wraped. This is an item often overlooked. 28 year old wires often do not like carrying extra current for new dash lights, switches etc. This harness uses OEM lamp circuit to fire relay with battery power to any new dash lamps

Are you wrapping the loomed harness with electrical tape or self healing silicone tape?

 

[NCFJ]

I use 3M Super 33

Ok, thanks. Advance Adapters sells a pair for just over $200 that are just like those.

Have you tried the Hooker iron manifolds yet?

 

[NCFJ]

No, but I will more than likely use them on the next build. I was waiting to see some first hand experience feedback before I tried them. I like that they are cast and also where they dump.

OK, this is one of my little pet peeves. Yeah, I know it works, but really. A person goes through the trouble of pulling the wheel and instead of using a $7 OEM replacement part, they use a 22 shell HACK!

They have a rear dump, so they might be a tight fit. The tube headers you use, as well as the Advance Adapters headers give a lot more room to make the turn back to the y-pipe.

BTW - Love the hack. Embrace them. That's why we're in business, because of hacks like that.

Pro Car Lumbar Elite seats mounted

This is awesome haha I see you're close to NC. I have an FJ62 that will hopefully one day get a full rebuild.

Good choice on the seats. I ran the same only cloth in my v8 FJ80. Great seat.

Cheers
