Swapping the four- or six-cylinder engine in a Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 for a third-generation Chevy LS V8 small-block is a popular way to increase horsepower, torque and efficiency for off-roading. By using an Advance Adapters LS Swap LandCruiser kit, you can retain t he stock four- speed transmission when using a Gen III V8. This helps you save money on your conversion project and gives you the benefits of each component for a major 4x4 upgrade.
There are two styles of adapter kits for mating the stock four- speed to an LS engine . Our 713027-EK Land Cruiser LS Swap Kit is the more comprehensive option, containing additional components to fine-tune your installation and get more from your conversion. Note that this kit includes mounts specific to the Chevy LS1 engine; however, you can get engine mounts for the LS6, LM7, L59 and other gen-three powerplants.
Elevate Your 4x4 Land Cruiser
Advance Adapters will help you experience the difference when you press the gas pedal in an LS-swapped Toyota. We manufacture a new bell housing that bolts the Chevy V8 to the Land Cruiser four-speed transmission for LS engine conversions. Our bell housing will require the transfer case to be relocated forward by at least 3 .5 inches. This relocation is required to add clearance around the larger Chevy V8 distributor. This kit also requires driveshaft and floorboard modifications. Be aware that placing the engine too far forward can cause excessive clearance issues with the four- speed shifter and heater vent. Also, most shifter handles need to be modified to provide heater vent clearance.
An LS e ngine a dapter kit for the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 four- speed helps give your classic 4x4 a modern overhaul. Note t his kit requires new driveshafts for the front and rear. If you do not want drive shaft modifications, please see kit #713027-EK. Owners of the Land Cruiser FJ60 or FJ62 must use this alternate engine swap kit. Contact Advance Adapters at 800-350-2223 if you have questions about compatibility or installation.
