I have a 73 fj40 with the F motor and 3 speed transmission. I have been reading the other form about the 5 speed conversion and it looks like it can be difficult and costly. So I am thinking about getting an H42 transmission from an later fj40 and put it in mine. But I have a couple of questions.
1) do I have to change the original transfer case?
2) do I need a new bell housing to hook it up to the F engine.
3) do I have to do modifications to the floor pan or anything to the frame.
I am just trying to gain another gear so that at freeway speeds the motor isn’t screaming and I don’t want to spend a lot of cash to make this happen. Any help on this would be awesome.
