The cruise control works exactly like factory. That was one of the less difficult parts of the swap. Having a throttle cable setup did make it easier.
The “what” is an FZJ80 with an LQ9 & 4L65E. The “why” is that we’ve got a customer that does lots of traveling and towing with his supercharged 80. Hammering on a 1FZ with a blower that is hauling an 80 full of gear, followed by a trailer that is even more full of gear, up a Rocky Mountain pass was turning into a frequent occurrence. The customer was looking for a drivetrain that could tow with less stress and run regular old 87 octane. The 390hp version of the LQ9 was a good fit.
First, you start with an adapter from Advance Adapters:
Then, you add a transmission with an output shaft that is way too long:
Next comes the not-so-cheap thrill of taking this:
...and making this:
On goes the adapter:
...a couple of shots of the assembled drivetrain:
The engine covers that say “Corvette” & “5.7L” will have to go, since this is a 6.0L going into a Land Cruiser. We’ve got some fancy plans for those.
The factory shift pattern is different than it will be with the 4L65E. Again, we have more fancy plans for that later.
Test fitting the drivetrain:
If you screw up, it's an expensive mistake.
Thats what I did on mine just tapped into the pcm plug on the passanger side. Tomorrow I will see which exact wire I used.

Original ECM connector E7 Pin #10 Black wire. you'll need a signal conversion module to connect between the new engine and this wire. The module we used is the older version of this one - Tach Module
