Eureka kits, engine choice on a custom shorty 40

Post by Hardzy »

does anyone know if eureka is the only place that does fibreglass kits for the fj40? ive been doing up the chasis and suspension of my shorty with 4 inch gu patrol coils, gu diffs front and rear custom arms etc, all now been completed and engineered. i just want to find a complete fibreglass body if anyone makes it. and does anyone recomend an engine and box combo? i dont really want to do the 350 chev transplant as this is already done, any other ideas on what would be reliable and able to cope offroad?
