i just bought a 75 Fj40 end of november. got it right before christmas and started the tear down. right now i have everything off and its just a rolling chassis. dropped engine (350 SB), tranny (stock 4 speed), and t-case (stock). might do a full rebuild on engine have not decided. what should i expect price wise for a rebuild?

since im new ill tell you whats done to the rig so far.
SOA, cut and turned 76 front axle w/ disc, 350, downey adapter kit, tilt steering, probly missing stuff.

plans for the rig is a rebuild from the ground up and have a good reliable trail rig when im done. gotta get off my lazy ass today and order my crossover steering from 4x4labs and get a left new motor mount from downey and a plate i was missing for the adapter.

heres the photo before i had the car shipped, didn't buy those wheels tires from the guy since i am planning on MT classic locks and 35" BFG KM2's




day the body was pulled off
