1982 Toyota Landcruiser Fj40, Black, Chevy 355, Auto Trans, Power Steering on 2040-cars

   This FJ40 has had a very thorough refurbishing starting by removing the tub for cleaning and painting frame, repairing tub and cleaning up the interior. I will try my best to describe the FJ as completely as possible and list those things that have been done.   Many original OEM parts were used as well as new Chevy and aftermarket parts.

 I spent a lot of time making this vehicle a great driver.  I do not use the term "frame off restoration" because this was not a nut and bolt redo. However great effort was taken to insure it was well done for a mechanically sound vehicle.  I drive this vehicle during the summer and fall months.  I did not drive it in the winter.  This vehicle has been garage kept many of the years in its life. I will list what has been done to the vehicle.  If you have any questions, please ask.

 The engine was replaced with a 355 Chevy Vortec Small block. It starts easily, runs smooth.  The Small Block offers great torque and horsepower for this ride.  It is a 10:1 compression motor that runs on 87 octane.  At the same time the transmission was replaced with a Chevy TH400.  It was completely rebuilt and a Trans Go shift kit was installed.  (new torque converter too)  The transfer case and both differentials were gone though and brought back to spec along with the axle seals and bearings.  The drive train was aligned and mounted with Advanced Adapters hardware and cross members.  Custom drive shafts were made at a local machine shop.  Hubs and transfer case operate easily and have been gone through as well.

Speedometer and odometer work correctly with factory gauge cluster.  Currently use GPS and Tachometer for speed.

*May have missed a thing or two but I think I covered the main ones.
Please don’t hesitate to ask questions.  I will respond within 24hours.

Additional info:

 The original odometer shows 115384 miles but has been replaced with an aftermarket gauge cluster.    Many of the common FJ modifications have been done.  For example; the new SBC, 4 core radiator, automatic transmission, shackle reversal, and power steering, anti-wrap bar. This Landcruiser is a great comfortable driver. Since the modifications and the engine replacement the vehicle has been driven less than 4500 miles.  Many of the trips have been within Michigan on warm summer days.
