2F FJ60

I had a 2f in my old fj45 ute. It went ok with a holley 350 and extractors but GUZZLED the fuel.

Hi,

My son has an FJ40 soft top and when he brought it the 2F engine in it was very tired. In the short term he has done a rebuild on the 2F but like previously mentioned it likes a drink and in the longer term he is going to install a V8 he recently purchased, although I suspect it might like a drink of juice as well.

With the rebuilt 2F engine he regularly tows our camper trailer and his car copes well with it. In fact he has it away on a weeks holiday at Double Island Point as we speak.

His reason for making the change is because he has spent a fortune on customising the 40 series and he reckons the job isn't complete without putting in a V8. The V8 he has purchased is a small block chev. The only piece of gear he has to get as yet is the adapter kit for engine to gearbox.

The only comment I could make is that it has cost him a few bucks along the way to do this so be prepared to fork out a bit even if you do the work yourself. The chev V8 is a very simple engine to work on which is great.

Have a good one.
