Yeah, they look reasonably similar

Ghostrider - I'm probably going to stick a PI donk in it soon, we've got a few spare, just cant be bothered changing the tank and fuel lines atm. I would just go for a TC or S engine for the extra torque over the 2 litre, but if I'm going to do it I want it to sound good... and sticking filters on each throttle on a PI engine and junking the standard plennum makes a fantastic noise, its rorty, growly and just generally fantastic. Plus we've got them down to a fine art now, basically never have problems because we get the guy in Sydney that tunes the mechanical injection metering units for the Forumla 5000 and Historic Touring car guys to do the units and send them back. Only problem is injector 5 sometimes getting an air lock, just leave the engine running, pop the bonnet, pull the injector out and tap it a few times with a spanner, then stick it back in

That said the FJ20E is appealing as it will rev a bit more, probably be lighter and will sit back a bit more

Edit - Oh, and as to where the engine came from, as far as I know its just an extended version of the Triumph / Standard 4 cylinder (which was a Massey Ferguson tractor engine) but with a narrower bore? Could have been the same as the Vanguard six?

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
