Power steering Conversion I decided to convert the FJ40 to power steering in line with modern driving norms and to introduce some safety into the steering system as 1971 FJ40s have a one piece steering column running directly off the steering box with no impact absorbing properties in the event of an accident. This is being converted to a collapsing rod/column design sourced with 55/60/75 series components and mated to the chassis with a McKinnons Cruisers 60 series power steering box. The components The original column, steering box, riveted box perch, tie rod, pivot and steering arms were. The McKinnon mounting kit and 60 series power steering box were attached McKinnons Cruisers shock tower kit to clear the new steering geometry HZJ75 OEM lines were massaged and secured between the 40 chassis rails
A 1HZ engine from a HZB50 Coaster was converted to 12 volt components and fitted with a Landcruiser rear sump to suit. It's a 4.2 litre diesel inline 6-cylinder 12-valve SOHC, is an indirect injection design, and delivers maximum power of 96 kW (129 hp) at 3800 rpm and maximum torque of 285 N⋅m (210 lbf⋅ft) at 2200 rpm H55F 5 speed transmission and transfer case from a HZJ75 mated to 1HZ engine
