This thread references an adapter kit to the stock FJ60 4 speed.
I don't see it mentioned on the company page but if you don't already have the adapter you might reach out to them
otherwise I would be curious to see what adapter/transmission you are using.

Builds - Another OM617 in an FJ40 thread
Morning all-I had started a thread on this build in the general tech thread, but now that I'm getting a better idea of the challenges, most of them involve the OM617. I should mention that I have no experience with this motor, and inherited the 1/2 finished project as a pile of unlabeled...

The 4x4labs is the kit I just ordered my bad I’m using the stock h42 trans will also be doing a compound turbo set up on it
Cool. which adapter kit do you use? I only saw one listed for the W56 trans and for the R150/151. Also which car did you pull the engine from and I am assuming other than starter and alternator the engine is all mechanical?
I found it

Cool, one of my friends has a compound OM617 in his 4runner. He finally just blew the head gasket after 100k miles of absolute abuse, I think it would work pretty well in a 60 if you keep the rest of the truck relatively light.

that’s my biggest fear Iv done this swap in a Jeep Wrangler on one tons and 38s but nothing this heavy I guess we will find out
If anyone wants to do this swap, Ive got a complete good running 617/300sd in Tucson for $1000obo

Complete car?
Same question
yes, its rough and I have picked a few parts from it, but its titled with a strong engine.
also have an '87 300d with the n/a 603 diesel, titled, some rat damage but should run $1000
Yes all mechanical engine utilizing vacuum to shut the fuel off to the motor. My 300SD is a top end (for it's day) luxury car that can actually be driven without a battery OR alternator (but no lights, heat, radio etc.)
Does the adapter work with the h55??
Yes it does. In the process of building a 78 fj55 with the om 617 and an H55F/split case. Good product and relatively easy to install.

I even have a complete, good running 240d engine (616 4cyl version of 5cyl 617) for $650 if needed. Pulled, so no car.
