4BT/SOA OVERLAND BUILD

Hougak 85 FJ60 4BT Cummins
85 FJ60 Toyota Landcruiser swapped 4BT Cummins with 5 speed NV4500.

Fellow FJ60 Cummins diesel enthusiasts. I've followed IH8MUD for a couple years dreaming of one day beginning a diesel conversion in my 85 Fj60 Toyota Landcruiser. Yesterday I bought one from my buddy Matt who decided to put a Mercedes Diesel in his Toyota instead of the 4BT. I’m excited and found a NV-4500 5 speed transmission. Looking forward to this build to gain more power, a 5 speed and better fuel economy. Eventually turning this into the ideal overland Landcruiser.
