You too mate. The goal for the FJ is a to build a rat daily so a little 186 with a blower and AC might be simpler and faster to build than the big RB conversion. I haev a few other more extreme builds that serve other purposes so I think i just got a little carried away with this when I was given 2 VLs lol. So far i have built a chev crated motored FJ47 (that doesnt have aircon) and a turbo chev ratrod (that doesnt have aircon) So a RB30 FJ (WITH AIRCON!!) would have rounded out the fleet nicely, but its really too much work for not much (if any) advantages over the 186. I still have 2 VLs that I need to use somewhere though, so I'll keep a close eye on this thread. Today I finished tacking up the HR front end. I'll test fit tonight and get some pics, but since you have the epic sexy rodtech front, you probably don't care

A vh40 in good nick with will squeeze a set of vt fronts no worries. As long as you get the appropriate disc/disc or disc/drum version. I didn't realise about the sumps though. I suspected I guess but I was hoping it wasn't the case. I still have a bit to do before I'm up to test fitting though so I might still track down a patrol wreck. If not I might throw a spare 186 and celica 5sp in to get me on the road and registered and take my time building the Rb.

I was going to use the stock pedals with a remote vh40 and hooper stoppers disc (vt) set up for the hr front end. I'm more worried about plumbing up a clutch since the stock set up was so weird.

Mine is a non turbo 30. Have you got any picks of yours tacked into your front end. Keen to see how far back you needed to go with the mounts.

I'm only my way shortly to collect my 2 donated Vl wagons actually :-)
