V8 transplant
Posted: Sat Sep 29, 2007 12:46 pm
I've just picked up a fairly stock FJ70 shorty with a knacked 3F. I had planned on transplanting a holden 5L but probably with a stroker bottom end and torker cam. Another option I've looked at is a chev Gen 3 or 4 (5.7 or 6.0L ).
I do realise that using a fourby flywheel with the extra weight and a cam to maximise torque is the best way to go and this sort of combination will be used regardless of engine finally put in.
Any info or tips would be helpful. Also any tips on how the rest of the drivetrain will handle this would be good.
