Not exactly sure what you’re asking but you need an adapter to go from the GM trans to the Toyota transfer case. Mark’s adapters is who most of us use. I don’t believe you can go straight from a GM engine to the Toyota trans...if that’s what you’re asking ?

Yea, from what ive found a 4l80 requires a 1300$ adapter. A 6l80 requires a 700$ adapter. Was hoping someone would know the budget options. I cant get the toyota A440 that i have to the motor so im shopping the tranny too.... but def a little price tag aggrivated.....
The price of the adapter is part of the ‘you gotta pay to play’ as far as the GM swap goes. There is nothing cheap about this swap if you wanna do it right. Have the funds available or don’t do it; s***ty swaps provide no joy !!

So which one do you have?
I have a 4L65e behind my 6.0 LS2 so whatever adapter Marks suggests for that combo is what I have, don’t remember specific part #

Funny as a broken leg!
No budget options really. Even the marks adapter needs some modifications to the 4wd shifter bracket.

What!?

Sounds like you haven't done much research. A ls swap is a lot of work. Here is the v8 swap thread. That will help you...
8x Series V8 Swaps
This thread is for V8 swaps to 80 Series Toyota Land Cruisers. Your truck frame must start with the following: FJ80-0xxxxxx or FZJ80-0xxxxxx. Of course, it can also start with an HDJ/HZJ iteration. Only the Aussies yank out perfectly good Toyota diesel engines to swap V8 power into them...

Yes, the fact that Marks still hasn’t sorted that bracket out after all this time is just annoying !
