Hey guys,
One of the trucks I've been looking at is a really ncie 87 FJ60 with a Chevy V8 in it. The current owner bought it from the guy who did the conversion and said it;s a Mark's kit. It's a veyr clean install and it runs like a dram.
One thing I noticed is that the 4 spd shifter is VERY far forward so they POx2 had the shifter bend to make it more accessible to the river.
It's not a deal breaker by any means, but I was curious if this is common with V8 swaps? Do the current adapters do this or do they make provisions to keep the trans in it's place? this is an older kit iirc.
I realize I don't have a ton of info to give you on this but I'd love to hear some conjecture and ideas.
Thanks.
