     I had a lot of fun writing the article, and now even more fun driving my Cruiser again. For anyone interested in doing the engine swap of a 2F into a FJ62, here are the full size drawings and pictures for reference. If you have any questions, please find me on IH8MUD. My user name is tonkota. And I will help as much as possible. I can also be found on the Yahoo! based 3F-E group.

My vehicle stats:

Mileage Results

The Text from Toyota Trails Magazine

Article: FJ62 Version 2F-E

The Drawings:

Drawing #1 - Upper A/C bracket to power steering
Drawing #2 - Lower A/C bracket to engine mount
Drawing #3 - Belt Layout and sizes with part numbers


The Pictures:

Picture - With the engine sitting on a table, it makes it easy to mock up the required brackets for the accessories. I still didn't have a water pump at this point.

Picture - The 2F water pump has a larger output than the one from the 3F-E. I bought this adapter from the local hose shop.

Picture - I had to use pushrods from a 2F also. The top one is one from a '75 2F and the bottom one is from the 3F-E. I was going to use the ones from my newly purchased, non-running, 1973 FJ55, but this is what I found: Engine Problem?? :)
I used new ones from Clevite PN 21-3270 that are for the 2F.

Picture - Finally, I found the right belt sizes. The longest one should be a little longer to allow the power steering to sit level. See the drawing for the part numbers.

Picture - With the engine sitting in the engine bay, I test fitted the intake to make sure that the hood did indeed close.

Picture - Very tight fit when the hood is closed, but there is no hood interference.

Picture - With the power steering in the stock location and sitting level, it too will rub a little on the hood liner.

Picture - The idler pulley for the large belt had to be ground a little to clear the water pump outlet.

Picture - A clear view of how much material was taken away from the idler pulley bracket.

Picture - You will have to use the 2F side cover. I cut off the PCV vent tube because the 3F-E valve cover has the PCV. You could leave it though and use a 2F valve cover.

Picture - A/C to power steering adapter bracket bolted to the A/C mount.

Picture - Another view A/C to power steering adapter bracket bolted to the A/C mount. Here is the drawing for this bracket.

Picture - To clear the water pump main outlet I had to move the A/C pump out 2 1/4". This is the mount that I made from 1 1/2" x 1/8" steel, drilled to match the A/C pump mount. Here is the drawing for this bracket.

Picture - These two extra holes (arrows) are the ones I used to bolt up the top mount for the alternator.

Picture - With the spacers cut, I had to make some custom length bolts.

Picture - I extended the smog pump support brace using 1" x 1/8" stock doubled up. I kept it as low as I could so that I could use the original hoses.

Picture - The upper mount for the alternator used to bolt up to the water pump, but is now mounted to the block using some spacers made from 3/8" pipe.
