V8 convert fj40 TLC
Hi,
My name is Chet and I am looking for advice on a V8 conversion for my fj40. It has the origonal 6 in it now. I am looking for injection. Is a crate motor worth it? Also I was wondering about exhauhst. I do off roading and would like to hill climb. Thank you |

Re: V8 convert fj40 TLC
hey chet
the FJ40 would have to be on of the best fourbys ever created but they can lack allot of power and is why i understand why wou would like to convert it into a V8, I havent actually don it myself but i know it has been done, hear down under we have a holden engine that might be great for you and i thing that you will be able to find one over there it is the GENIII a chevy engine. i also agree that you need a new exhauhst. |

Don't do it!!
Chet, Don't put GM junk a ina original FJ40. I will buy your FJ off you. then you can find one in bad shape to hop-up or a Jeep. You will make money in the process!!

Re: V8 convert fj40 TLC
Think about an HEI conversion for your distributor. The gain in power and fuel economy changed my mind from a v8 conv. Best mod I ever made.
