whilst reading one of the replies to cruiserdrew's thread where roscoFJ73 mentioned gear ratios i got to thinking to myself
"self, you'd probably sell your left leg to finance an h55f swap into your 1989 fj62, but even such a fine leg isn't worth the 2.5-3kk it'll probably run you when all is said and done, not to mention ebay banned such auctions before you even though of it and your friends in the organ selling underground are all in jail. if you could delete the brand $panking new trans from the build list it's much more feasible, and since you already have 4.11 diffs maybe the ultra low 1st gear isn't a big deal"
so i ask all y'all this: the h55f is the holy grail, but would the H42 be better than the auto i have now till i can afford the 55?
i know the a440 is a tough trans, i just don't like auto transmissions, especially for driving in the hills which is what i bought the crusier for.
i'll still need to find the right cross member, and adjust driveshaft lengths, and find the clutch mount plate from an fj60 but most of that gets transferred to the h55 down the road right (not shafts)?
thanks
