Tigger the Toyota

I don't really want to talk about this one too much. Lets just say that I got royally hosed on the deal --both buying and selling. I did however, learn a lot when forced to rebuild the motor.

Tigger the Toyota is a 1977 FJ-40 Landcruiser. I did an engine rebuild and swap to drop-in a small block Chevy 350. During the rebuild, a few things were added --Big fat cam, nice dual-plane intake, big carb, fancy coil, etc. In the end, the thing would climb a tree if you asked it to --all at a nice, 8 MPG...

Hey, if nothing else, that engine sure did look all nice and shiny when I was done!
