  Small block oil leak

  By Frank Dinatally

  Hi everyone I recently up graded my barracuda engine. Took out the 273 that was in it and put in a 318 short block and with the 318 in a 65 barracuda the 318 heads would not let the exhaust manifolds seal correctly. The exhaust ports were straight and exhaust manifold are angled. Wrote in forum about this and numerous people said my original 273 heads would great. So that's is what we put back on. The guy that Installed the the engine and built it came back to my home and got... Read more

  Older than dirt - projects following the ‘64 FJ40 FST

  By oregon fj

  Hi, all. Just had my thread moved here from the 40 tech forum, as it seems more in line with the stock, preservation action I see here. Here I go, jumping into the deep end with my first LC. Just made a deal today on a ‘64 FJ40. Way stock, remarkably straight, very solid. One family truck for 50 years, second owner never titled it so I will “officially” be the second owner. Been sitting for at least 5 years, and only driven around the family property for years before that. Last... Read more

  '69 Derelict Rescue

  By serial car restorer

  I made a verbal deal on the Bronc after seeing it in person last week. Today was the planned completion of the deal. The day did not go as planned. The seller and the Bronc were about 110 miles away. The trailer I was borrowing is a rather heavy unit, and I was concerned about overstressing my poor old Tacoma in the forecasted 100°F heat today. So I conscripted a friend and his big Duramax Silverado for the trip. It did not start out well. My friend called a few minutes before he was... Read more

  Can anyone explain Lucid’s "batch build" process at AMP-1?

  By bcjenkins

  Can anyone shed light on how Lucid structures its production batching for the Air? I’ve seen the term "batch build" mentioned in passing, but I’d like to understand what that means in practice. Does AMP-1 schedule runs around exterior paint color? Specific option packages like DreamDrive Pro or Glass Canopy? Or specific interior trims? Here is why I ask: On 21 Aug, I ordered an inventory 2026 Air Grand Touring and immediately received an acknowledgment email and VIN. It was listed as... Read more

  Alternator Upgrade and fusing

  By jgranthevagrant

  Further to my post about 2 alternators and their output, I'm looking at upgrading from a 60A alternator (stock on a 1990 22RE) to a 140A or 200A alternator. Those appear to be two of the options available that I can find. For those that have done an alternator upgrade, what fusing changes were made, if any? FWIW, the alternator manufacturer is saying to NOT put a fuse between the alternator and battery. If I'm reading my wiring diagram correctly, Toyota has several fuses in the... Read more
