I have a 1972 FJ55 - Bone Stock.
I was originally planning to swap in a 5.3 Vortec / 4L60e / with my stock Toyota Transfer case.
---> Plans may have changed <---
I just came across a 2009 Denali 4x4 Rollover and the owner sold me the low mileage drivetrain for under $1000.
6.2L (L92 I think... either L92 or L94)
6L80e 6-Speed with Transfer Case
ECM (module with harness / etc)
I've done a couple of 5.3 swaps in FJ40's before but used the SM465 tranny and stock txfer case.
This one will be different (if it works).
Concern #1:
I had a friend of mine tell me that he thought the 6L80e & Stock Transfer Case from a 4x4 Denali has a driver's side output and will not clock / move to the passenger side - that it will not work on my Toyota.
Concern #2:
I was also told that this Denali most likely (might have) all-wheel drive (full time 4x4).
Questions for those that might know:
1.) Will the stock Denali transfer case work on my application and can it be adapted for a passenger side drop ?
2.) If not, what transfer case would be my best option ? I see that AA claims to make an adapter for a 6L80e to my stock 10-spline case...but would that be my best option ?
3.) Are these drivetrains all wheel drive (full time 4x4) and can they modified for manual engagement ?
4.) Anything else I might be missing about this 2009 6.2 Engine / 6L80e tranny swap ?
Anyone ever do one and how do you like em ?
Anything special I need to look out for ?
Thanks in advance !
Mike
