I am considering putting a 2UZ drivetrain into my FJ40.
The FJ40 would be stretched 10".
I've been planning to get a 2UZ and A750 and associated wiring out of a Sequoia. This can be connected to the J80/J100 transfer case with a 3:1 low range gear set.
But the A750 is VERY long.
If I could, I'd run a TR4050, but I have not been able to find a bellhousing adapter to a 2UZ for that transmission.
H55F bellhousing needs to come from Australia and I need to ship the ring gear overseas. This seems Sub-Optimal.
An R15x/AR5 is a consideration, but these are also very long, and the first gear isn't very deep for rock crawling (If I go manual, I'd like to match the 70:1 I currently have). I'd need to go to an Atlas2 in order to get the deep gearing I already have, or I'd need to get a NWFab BlackBox to adapt to a Land Cruiser split case.
The ZF 8HP70 seems to be a poprular transmission right now (its being used in the Ineos Grenadier, a bunch of MOPARs, and other applications). It will adapt to the J80/J100 transfer or the Split Case, and 51:1 w/ an automatic would get me into the crawl ratio range I'd like to be.
Cheapest/Easiest option would be the A750.
That said, for the cost of the ZF 8HP, TCU, adapters, etc, I might be getting into 1HD-FTE/H155f territory in terms of costs...
