Maybe 2K, the engine is trashed, but fixable. Needs chains, gears, seals and that's before I disassemble it. At least it doesn't really smoke. Second gear synchronizer needs replaced along with bearing. There goes my COVID check.
I have a good U20 and a rebuilt trans to install.

I am going to keep the 67.5 motor close to stock. My smog motor will be mostly stock for the first round. I still have my FJ20 car.

Painted the engine closer to the car's color. I know its not the correct color.

Had to remove the transmission as the starter threads in the bellhousing would not hold the desired torque.
The engine is ready to install again.

Looking good, Phil. You make it seem easy, which it probably is , for you. LOL
Like the Tortoise and the Hare story, some are fast and some are slow, pros and cons to each. :D

I am the tortoise for sure. Only work a few hours a week on her.
Might be ready for a drive by June 1.
Would love to install my JT exhaust, its a 2" system I bought for my FJ car, but I am trying to not get this one too far apart.
