G'day everyone, I just picked up a 1983 SJ40V and had a few questions. Body is in fantastic condition and I play on giving it a respray. I understand it is the 1.0L engine and I was just after some thoughts on whether to keep it stock or do an engine conversion? I was thinking maybe a F6A Turbo. Or just keep her original? The 1.0l seems a little lacking in power and I have heard the gearbox isn't fantastic off road. Cheers, Sam |

If you can find and F6A in good condition it’s a great conversion. |

The cappuccino engine is peak F6A being DOHC, and RWD trim, but the gearbox is unsuitable as it has a remote shifter like a Jimny gearbox that puts the shifter over the top of the transfer case. I suspect a Carry would have a similar problem in reverse. (i'e the shift housing is cable or whacky linkages to get it forward) There are quite a few F5A and F6A sierras in the country though. I suspect motors (and more importantly, gearboxes) do turn up. I don't know the status of importing 1/2 cuts any more, but that's the obvious way to get everything required - A K6A Coil sprung front cut would be ideal. It would also supply electric power steer and A/C. There used to be a market for Alto Works F6A front cuts which are basically the cappuccino engine in FWD trim - The mighty boy bois used to be all over them. I haven't looked for many years. |
