The stock 4 speed transmission can be retained when using a Chevy V8 or GEN III V8. There are two styles of adapter kits for mating the stock 4 speed to these engines.
We manufacture a new bellhousing that bolts the Chevy V8 to the Land Cruiser 4 speed. Our bellhousing will require the transfer case to be relocated forward a minimum distance of 3-1/2”. This relocation is required for clearance necessary around the Chevy V8 distributor. This kit also requires driveshaft & floorboard modifications. Be aware that placing the engine too far forward can cause excessive clearance issues with the 4 speed shifter and heater vent. Also, most shifter handles will need to be modified to provide heater vent clearance.
GM V8 Adapter Kit for Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 4 speed. This kit includes: a full bellhousing, motor mounts, rear crossmember, release bearing and water temp. bushing.
This kit does require new driveshafts front and rear. If you do not want drive shaft modifications, please see kit 713025-EK
FJ60's & FJ62's must use kit 713025-EK which does not require drive shaft modifications.
