Outer Limits 4x4 Board

well its prolly too late but has anyone driven a fj40 with a ford 250xflow in it

after retiring the 2f in my landcruiser im going tomorrow to pickup a 250xflow and conversion kit to bolt into my landcruiser

should be interesting anyone driven one how do they go ??

no cause they are hopeless

dont hold back tell me what you really think LOL

atleast im not downgrading from a fj40 to a nissan

I recon they would be a top swap, not as common ( as a transplant) as a v8 but cheap to buy, cheap to get power out of and relatively easy conversion. Then again you get ford starter and flywheel issues

Good luck, and Id be looking for a late modle 4 litre falcon engine to replace the 250 in the future, they rock power and fuel wise

well its now in my engine bay

and it doesnt use the ford starter its custom comes with the conversion kit

my kit is a crs (castlemain rodshop) fitted straight in

this will be ran on straight lpg anyway so fuel isnt a massive issue its always cheap on gas

ill post up some pics of the setup once ive got it in and running

you were always telling me to stay true to 2F but just go LPG......

and a mate has one in his CJ7, i dunno if its the gearing or what but it flies....
until it gets near water... as soon as it sees mud it dies...

but yeah you can bodge the electrics im sure.

it's got electric ignition, no points, no water issues

stay true to the 2f... only wierdo's change them for anything else... don't be like this slacker.

and if anyone thinks i'm being harsh, pcman knows i'm kidding... i'm his gofer on the swap

yep stock electronic ignition so shouldnt have any problems

250's alsop love lpg so i cant wait to get it up and running on gas should be sweet

so you think you can get a dizzy wet and it wont stop just because its got no point's? I don't know how u come up with that!

no, but points are usually the weakest link when it comes to a dunking.

Dizzy Pressurised with twin water/moisture filters on the air line that auto empty, one with regulator
Control Module, drivers side of the firewall and about as high as it can be mounted.
Everything else is just greased and sprayed

Just a few for pcman to think on as he fits the new hart to his 40

does my poorly phrased generalisation effect your life that much? ever thought about just worrying about your own chit?

It might have a new engine, but it is still a POS

Actually my best swimming attempt was post electric ignition and pre pressurised dizzy (bonnet deep for 30 min)
Also it was not an electrical issue that finally stopped the truck on that occasion but the gas converter, which is now connected to the snorkel directly.
Hope that clarifies everything, I'll go crawl back under my 3rd Rock now

this thread needs a box of tissues

some good info tho matt cheers for that eventually sounds like some good ideas to do

Hamo, i got no beef with being wrong.

but how does "crawl back under your rock" and "this is the blind leading the blind" prove i'm wrong . yes there are other water related issues other than the points (which i have already stated in this thread), but in my experience, if you deal with the points (i.e. elec dizzy, seal it whatever) you have very few issues, with water. i don't try to drive bass straight or anything, so i'm no expert.

and if people read one opinion and take it as gospel, they have more to worry about stopping mid river with a wet dizzy.

and do i know you?

Pcman's 40 is a safe, great looking and well engineered piece of machinary and is a credit to its owner.
