Rodeo 10-22-2002, 04:56 PM I've got a '74 FJ40 with a 2F. I'm in Yuma so at times I need to cover a lot of asphalt. I would like to put in a 5 speed for the overdrive but I'm currently "cost conscience". Anyhow, a friend of mine frequents Canada. Are there any H55F's to be had up there in junkyards that I can send him looking for? Are they in the diesels? Thanks.... Pin Head 10-22-2002, 05:21 PM Fuhgeddaboudit. Just get some bigger tires. You live in Yuma and you haven't heard about "Mexican" overdrive? Rodeo 10-22-2002, 05:32 PM How'd you know I was running around on 31s? A 2" lift and 33s are on the way, but when I do the math that's not much of a reduction in rpm. rick d 10-22-2002, 05:35 PM canada + h55 = danger. for the H55 conversion you also will need a t-case IF, you get a HZJ or BJ H55 you have to tear down the t-case, then the tranny to replace the output ($250 part, have fun). then ideally you may have to rebearing AND synchro the tranny and rebearing the t-case ($400+) If you are luck enought to stumble on a HJ, it's a drop in but most have vacuum shift transfers ...all will have 1.99:1 t-cases Call up Marv Specter with your credit card, buy a membership and then a H55 combo ($2,280 minus discount?). Rodeo 10-22-2002, 05:58 PM Sounds like time for 35s. Nomad 10-22-2002, 11:10 PM Hey Rodeo, take the ferry from Seattle to Victoria BC, and come pickup my '83 BJ60 for the low-low price of $3500.US!!! Has what you're looking for, 5spd., solid running 3B diesel, and factory power steering. Even has factory cruiser control... COLD beer in the fridge;) :D Cheers! TRD 10-23-2002, 07:39 AM I will have an H55F+tranfers case for sale in a couple months. I bought it from ManaFre 3 years ago. I have a in line but with this type of stuff people tend to flake out. I will be asking 1500 with adapter to a 350 Jason M 10-23-2002, 07:54 AM 3.73 gears work well.. | |
