I had a awful scare with a FJ45 that I was driving for a geophysics mob which I was working for on Ning Bing station, north of Kununurra. Later on a job recce, somewhere near Tunnel creek, WA, a workmate and myself spotted a easy slope up a limestone ridge and boys being boys, we decided to climb up using the FJ45 to have a look over the other side.
Well! the Toyota climbed up ok, but once we got there, I couldn't hold it with either the foot or hand brake on from going back. Away it went, after hitting a large limestone boulder at the bottom and blowing the rock to smithereens, we got out of the unscathed Toyota :eek:, discussing the stock market and the latest drop in price of fertilizer shares.

By that time of driving this Toyota, I was sure missing my 2a flat tray which was back at the motel at Kununurra. The brakes on my six cylinder Land Rover where way better than that FJ45. :(
.

Is the crank, conrods and cam from the 3 litre able to be directly swapped over to the 2.6 without any major modifications?
.

Still hoping for a reply to this too, just out of interest.
I don't know, but I saw that there is plenty of clearance around the crank and big ends in the 2.6, I reckon the 3.0 bits would fit.
Wish I had a 3.0 to try it....

Hi Terry

Try sticking a add in the wanted section on this forum, you never know but I am tipping that someone would have one to get rid of.

.

It might be quicker to contact the various Rover Owner clubs around Oz and ask them - see if any are on the net,

Cheers Charlie

I know I said I wish.... but I really don't need another project at the moment.
Still haven't got the 2.6 back together, fences to fix, 2 sheds with roofs half off after the wind a couple of weeks ago, etc, etc.

But if one landed in in the driveway, well......

:DTerry

I know the feeling Terry, so I am considering becoming a Buddhist and what I don't get done this lifetime I can do in the next :D .
