2f and 3f heads are as likely to crack as each other, they are pretty much the same (you can put a 3f head on a 2f bottom end from memory). metalurgically they are very similar, so:
whoever reco'd your 2f didn't know what they were doing obviously.
even if you were selling a 2f?MANCRUISER wrote:Ahh Ok.... And Yes I Think 2F and 3F's Are Very Similar, But Yet If I Had To Choose Between The 2... I Would Definetly Go 3F...Busta774 wrote:A Hectic trail up at gattonHaha Thanks Bud For The Back Up.. BTW Which Track Did You Blow The Head On??

which is it??? is it one of the "65 top engines according to roothy"MANCRUISER wrote:You Said It Mate!...De-lux wrote:ok ok, who really gives a shit which engine is better... All of those dinosaur petty engines are lackluster at the best of times.
For what it's worth, I wouldn't go for the 3F. It won't be a straight forward swap and the petrol engine will use buckets of fuel and run ordinary on hills. I know the price may be attractive now, but you will pay later.Narrowscopeofreality wrote:Interesting turn of events, i've got an opituniity to get my hands on a complete 3F w/box ect, running schmick.
The B is getting a bit tired, blowing a bit of blue smoke, and with having to replace the clutch anyway, would the 3F be a worthwhile conversion? I can get the 3F for the near the same price as a new clutch. More ponies and torque, the only part i'm hesitant about is straying away from the diesel.
Anyone have any thoughts?
. I'm far from dead set on petrol, I prefer diesel. I'd love to put a cummins in it but I don't think funds will allow.Yeah It Was A Huge Favour...

..And prepared to pay a crap load for it...Shadow wrote:if you can find onehj 45 wrote:How about a 14BT Toyota motor? They'd bolt up to the existing mounts.
As a guide I paid $600 for a 3b in nsw or northern Vic (not sure which it was a while ago).. and it had good compression results (near 400's on all 4 cylinders), had done about 295000kms, it also had no bolt ons.. freight was $300.. I think I recall this seller having 2 to choose from... I'd have to look back through my pm's to find out who it was.. I just posted up in the wanted section on here...De-lux wrote:Hey shorty,shorty_f0rty wrote:i know of 2 3b's around the place for sale if your interested
even though I'm not looking at the moment, can you PM me some prices so I know what I'd be up for in the future?
i Have a 3b here in a wrecked bj 42 i bought for the hard top has 40 000km. But im in tassie.Ricko wrote:And prepared to pay a crap load for it...Shadow wrote:if you can find onehj 45 wrote:How about a 14BT Toyota motor? They'd bolt up to the existing mounts.
Seriously if you need to replace the motor, I would look for a complete BJ40 (or 42 if you can find a cheap enough one) thats rusted to buggery on ebay and runs well. Take the motor and anything else you need or is any good, scrap the rest. Plenty of rusted BJ's for sale at a good price out there. Even look for dyna trucks with B or 3B motors. You may even find just the motor for a good price.
