I am looking into getting a 72 FJ40. Never owned one or driven one. I've built trucks and runners but have yet to get into the FJs. The one I'm looking at already has a 305 with 700R4 trans. Not sure on the year of the eng/trans.
So my questions is what would you all recommend doing to it in regards to eng and trans? What will essentially bolt up with minor fab work?
My plans for it is to drive it quite often for fishing, camping and mild off road. I live in Alaska so there is alot of driving. I would like to use it to trailer 4 wheelers and snowmachines as well potentially. Trail riding will be the extent of my offroading. I've built mud runner and rock crawlers so looking to just cruise with the fam.
Any and all ideas welcome. Thanks for looking
