Thanks for pursuing this project. Plan on using your adapter in my '88 Fj62. I have a 2000 2wd Tundra donor. Do you have a good list of what is needed out of the donor truck?
Wow. This is awesome. The timing is perfect for me. I pulled apart my 40 years ago with a 2UZ/H42 sitting in the garage. I even got a bellhousing from Dellow, but they require custom this, custom that. I need engine mounts as well. I see...
Nice! Engine with flexplate, bolts and two spacers (one on each side of flexplate), entire engine harness and fuse/relay box w/ ECM, power steering fluid reservoir, intake tube w/ MAF, both engine side mounts. You will need to send your harness...
We haven't done with a SOA yet so not real world experience. My instinct tells me that the 100 series pan set up will still be the best route to go as the sump sits in the back.
Hey everyone,
We’ve been developing a Bosch iBooster mounting bracket for Land Cruisers, and I finally got a chance to put it through a proper test.
I installed it in my 80 and took it down to Moab—hands down the best braking performance I’ve...
It's has been on their website.

This looks really cool and I can’t wait to try it on a project.
Why is a crossmember required for a regular H42-equipped FJ40?
Is there clearance for a 60/80 power steering conversion with this ?
Two other questions:
1. Is the engine pictured a front, mid, or rear oil sump configuration? Need to clear the axle when the suspension is fully articulated.
2. Did you sell out of the first production run? I don't need one today but...
Do you have a measurement from the center of the shifter location, to the back of the block? Where the adaptor plate bolts to?
Highlighted in pic.
Here’s an H150F for reference
THIS is really cool! @bagochips76 will this be listed on your overlandcruiser website when its ready? This is really epic for 40/50/60 series guys looking to NOT swap in a vortec or sbc and keeping things all toyota under that hood!
You bet! One of the reasons why I developed the conversion was due to the fact that I did not want ANY GM parts involved. There are plenty of great GM/LS swaps out there and we have even done some, but at the end of the day I am a Toyota guy...
So we just returned from Cruise Moab and we took both the 40 and the 60 down there. We trailered the 40 (for obvious reasons) and I drove the 60. They both performed incredibly well! The 40 is geared with 4.10s on 33s and it is a blast to...
