Skip the AA flywheel and clutch kit and save yourself the $500. Go on Rockauto or wherever you get regular parts and buy a flywheel and clutch kit for a 2001-06 2500 Silverado with a 6.0 gas engine. Clutch kit should be less then $120-150 and flywheel should be $60-70. They will work just as well as the AA kit. I have the Sachs NW1050 flywheel but it was less expensive when I bought it, there's a few others on there for slightly less and I would have no problem with. I think I have a Luk clutch kit, same thing, there's other kits for less that will function fine.
Advance adapters will tell you the Land Cruiser clutch master/slave combo doesn't have enough travel to completely disengage the GM pressure plate but they are incorrect.
Just talked to Matthew at Advanced Adapters yesterday. Great guy with lots of landcruiser experience (and has a couple awesome sounding Rovers). Talked to him about the Ranger overdrive boxes and he has seen issues with too much RPM in the transmission, so did not recommend it. So, that means I likely will have to move the tranny forward.
Here is the order.

Wow that looks Sweet super impressed with your wallet and your ability to stay married while juggling several amazing projects at the same time.
What did you decide to do about the clutch and flywheel? I would return the AA stuff, that’s a big chunk of change that could be used better elsewhere
I was headed down that road, then recalled when I was working on my 40 and I had all sorts of bearing problems advanced adapters help me out immensely... and sent me the alignment pegs I needed for free. Sometimes you just got to support these vendors and let them make profit, especially those that truly care and help you out. I feel the same way about ARB products, slee, cruiser outfitters, marlin....
Exactly what happened to me. My first 80 series had an ARB bumper with broken turn light covers, called them up and they shipped new ones to me for free. Two years later I was faced with a decision to buy an ARB fridge or an Engel, and after reflecting on the turn light covers, bought the ARB.agreed. I just think of the extra cost on that stuff like paying for support and customer service. ARB has given me stuff for free on products I didn’t buy that are over 20 years old.
The big unthreaded hole is where the cam sensor goes. The threaded hole is where the oil pressure sensor goes. I adapted it to accept the factory Toyota dash sensor. GM ecm does not need data from the GM sensor.Pics of engine. For those in the know... what else do I need to source? @cruisermatt @brosky @thatcabledude
First off, what are these two holes for?

Do I need to plug any of these holes?

Came with fly by wire throttle body, so I need to get a cable mounted one. What car should I be looking for at junkyard?
It did come with a water pump! Will have to get the A/C bracket still.
