Non to speak of on the 60, have been working on the PU. I need something to drive NOW so the PU must be finished. I just didn't want to drive it before i got the fuel injection on. Will post up some shots cause pics are cool.

Ordered a set of 3.05 Tcase gears to go along with the ToyBox. The gearset will also lower the high range side 8%, this was the real reason i went with them. I was concerned that the 5.29s would not be deep enough so i started saving for the gears. Found a few other items off Ebay for under the hood, couldn't let Corey be the only one with a huffer so i want to try one with my turbo for some downlow boost.

Finally got my gearset for the Tcase from Aus. and that other thing i was thinkin of doin. The plan is to blow through the supercharger, or suck through the turbo, whichever you prefer. Any ways the supercharger should take care of boost down low and as the turbo spools up it will add more. We will see how much boost you can stuff into a 3B. These will give me a combined crawl ratio of 7.75:1

Is that a Eaton long neck off a GM 3.8 how do you plan on mounting it? I was thinking of throwing one on my chev 4.3 I have a few lying around

Yes, it is an Eaton M90 unit off a 3.8 Bonneville. I have not figured out mounting yet. Yours will be easy in comparison, there are easily adaptable 4brl manifolds for the 4.3. If the M90 is to long for you you might try the Eaton M62 unit, it's not as large as the 90 but has a shorter snout.

Earlier in this post you stated that you got a used but good frame brought over from Japan....how did you discover this? Is Japan a good source for every type of LandCruiser frame or toyota truck frames? I have an fj40 that I want to turn into a BJ40 and have aquired a frame thats not too bad, but would like to get my hands on a much nicer one. Any suggestions??

Could try G&S Cruiser Parts, they are here in B.C. Rosedale to be more precise. Sheldon or Greg Or i think Aqualu Industries makes frames along with aluminum body tubs and other parts for the 40 series. GOOD LUCK, Vince
