Hello my name is Danny. I have an 1983 fj40 with a f2 4 speed trans. i just pulled the motor and my 5.3 rebuild just got done. I am going to be using a marks bell-housing adapter from advance adapters. Has any one ever used one of these adapters? Looking for general info about the install.

I have a 2in lift and my 33 look really good. A friend of mine runs 35x10.5 on his 4in lift and it looks good. The only thing is that the rear tires stick out of the wheel well about an 1in or so.

Advance adapters Rocks! I've not done a 325 CI Vortec but have done 3 Chevy 350 CI installs for friends and the stuff they sell is right on. I wouldn't hesitate.

I have a 79 fj and put an LT1 out of a 94 camaro in it. I have the toyota 4 speed tranny and I need to hook up a VSS. Problem is the chevy computer can't read the pulse from the toyota tranny. Downey Offroad used to have a plugin piece that did the conversion automatically but since they went out of business all of their designs went to Advanced Adapters. Next problem...advanced adapters is not making that piece right now so I'm sort of S.O.L. I'm hoping someone has one or knows of someone who might that I could by. Can't get through SMOG without it. thanks in advance for any input!

Jim from Downey

I've seen some recent posts from Jim of Downey about this problem. You should ask on the fj40 forum on ih8mud.com his user name is Downey. Or just send him a PM... He should be able to help you.
