Putting a 6BT 12 valve cummins into this 94 FZJ80, done lots of research but im just wondering if anyone has done the swap with the 47rh transmission? I want to use an auto if I can.
Axis industries sells an adapter to convert the 23 spline 47rh to the factory Toyota hf2a transfer case. My main concern is with how long the 47rh transmission is (31.5") compared to the a442f (28 inches long) my fzj80 has. Its roughly 3.5" inches longer than the stock toyota transmission.
I know people put LS in these land cruisers, and they use 4l80e (26.5 inches long) they also use the nv4500 which is 25.5 long. I am wondering if there is enough room behind the tcase before it hits the gas tank or anything else. Not worried about redoing the driveshafts.
Basically can you use a transmission that is 31.5 inches long (6 inches longer than the other common options, 3.5 inches longer than stock)
Thanks guys!
