No disrespect intended, but there is simply not enough room to squeeze in a F Series engine, H55F, and "split" t-case in between the front motor mounts and the mid-chassis crossmember on a FJ40 that came with the H41/42 four speed tranny!
Sure, if it was a B Series engine and H55F and t-case drivetrain it might fit. But, there will definitely be clearance issues with a 2F and a H55f and that mid-chassis crossmember!

Oh it fits Alan,
Marv has a 1984 40 series that he purchased out of Saudi Arabia that has a 2F, H55 and split case. Apparently it is in incredible condition.
When I installed this transmission in the FJ 60 I did not have to move the cross member that the H42 and split case was mounted to. I just had to shorten the rear shaft and lengthen the front. It is my understanding that the housing of the H55 where the transmission isolator mounts is in the same location as it would be if it were on the H41/42 in relation to the front of the transmission housing.
