I've had a 4bd1t that was sitting for years and it's been fine without touching anything.

Electronic injector pump that's pretty modern for a 109FC! (everything is modern for a 60's car lol! why not stick to analogue injection? I drove a rangie once with the 2.8, it was a bit gutless compared to the 3.9, but it did the job just fine.)

Hi.
4JH1 has timing gears so no belts to deal with.

The intention is to retrofit the mechanical injector pump, injectors and timing case from a 4JB1. A straight bolt up conversion I understand. So will end up with a 3.0l intercooled TD.

1963 2A FC. It still has PMG sign written on the doors.
