1969 FJ40 6 cyl. "motor"

[homer69]

I have the motor out of a '69 FJ40 sitting in a shed for anybody that might want it. It's the 6 cyl (6F?). It has been sitting there for quite a few years. Would need to be rebuilt. It also has the 3 speed tranny attached to it and a header. Let me know if you're interested.

that should be an F engine. does it still have the carb and distributor on it?

fyi- its worth 200 bucks in scrap metal

[orangefj45]

not exactly. but you might get $40-60 for it.

[ADD]

well i dont know where you take them, but up here in grass valley you get about 200 for them.

[orangefj45]

you're telling me that scrap metal goes for $400 per metric ton up there???? i'm in the wrong business..........

[fc187]

wow! 4 cents a pound seams to be going rate around here!

dumped off a 3,000 lb 2 stroke deisel a few weeks ago. got me $120

Mild steel scrap gets ya a little more, but engines,... not so much.



BTT

Thanks for the replies. Didn't think about taking it in for scrap. Thought somebody might want it for a rebuild. Seems like it was an early '69 cruiser. It still has the carb and distributor on it.

[orangefj45]

are you willing to pull the carb and dizzy and send them to me? i'd be happy to pay for your troubles and shipping. :beer:


the rest might as well go to the scraper......

[homer69]

I could probably send you those. I'm not having any luck finding a place local that will pay for the scrap metal. Anybody know of any places near my area? I will see if I can get to pulling the carb and dist. off this weekend. I'll let you know and we can work something out.

thanks a bunch!

did you look in the yellow pages under "recycling"?! good luck! :beer:
