1984 Landcruiser Fj60. 350 V8 4 Speed, Tbi/fi, Ca Smog Legal on 2040-cars

1984 FJ60 in very good condition for it's age. I've owned it for 15 years now and the previous owner for 5. Neither of us are/were smokers. The mileage is 286,000 approx, and is likely the true number. After the original 6 cylinder gave up the ghost I did the 350 5.7 GMC conversion. That was around 193,000 miles. <P>

The motor and ECU are out of an '87 GMC Suburban and it runs fine. It has worn down a bit but is still a fine runner. The valve guides are wearing and now and then a puff of blue smoke out the back when 1st starting. But it does not burn or leak oil. It was a great conversion! The I-6 was great off-road but would not get out of it's own way trying to merge onto the freeway. The 350 took care of that. Later I installed a rebuilt 4 speed from Spector Off Road, with a compound low, 1st gear. Got my torque back. :) <P>

The truck was off-roaded some but was never a boonie crasher, or abused. The suspension is stock, with the shocks recently replaced, Monroe. I replaced the carpets a few years ago with Specter's gray loop kit. In the cargo area just behind the bench seat is a 3" slit. I had all the seats re-covered about 18 months ago; custom sewn. As wonderful as Toyota's fabrics were there was no way to keep that driver side seat panel from wearing out. I didn't want to but I'd replaced the driver side once ($250).  A second replacement was not an option. :) Now, as you can see, HD boat vinyl. Problem solved. There are a few nicks in the window tint.<P>

The body is rust free and straight. There are 2 or 3 minor "beer can" dents that are very hard to see, being white.... The truck has been regularly serviced for the last 20 years at least.

6 months ago the left front axle seal gave out so I had both sides taken apart, inspected and re-sealed. No mo drips. 18 months ago I had the air conditioning totally replaced and it blows nice and cold. There went another $2k..... but living in the Sacramento Valley makes me wish I'da done it years before. The adaptor kit for the 350 is a Marks, out of Australia.  Tow hitch welded to chassis. Wired for 7 pin round or 4 pin flat trailers. Prodigy brake control, and wired for charging circuit.  <P>

The truck has been in an accident but I couldn't tell you when or where. It happened before the PO sold it to me. It was hit on (ran into?) with the left front fender. Nothing apparent to me, and the frame is straight. The transfer case is fine, and the drive line in general.<P>

If you have any questions please ask. MIKE

A watcher asked a question earlier today about the motor swap, and I thank him. It is pertinent.

The motor swap was not a shade tree conversion. It was done by  a local Pro Shop.

I purchased the needed parts and the shop did the installation. The V8 and ECU came from the same truck, and was wired into place using a Painless Universal wiring harness. The ECU is located next to the left foot, behind the kick plate, in front of the A pillar. The Check Engine light is located above the left knee of the driver as well as the BDO (?) test socket.

The Calif BAR issued a new bar code sticker for approval.

Thank you.
