I’m taking on a tranny/t-case swap into my 1965 fj40
Warning, I’m a novice so I’m sure I’ll say some things that require some grace.
What I have:
1965 FJ40
327 Chevy Conversion
Toyota manual 3 speed tranny
Toyota T-case single stick (Not sure if it’s the original since it shifts in an L shaped pattern but my glove box instructions are in a straight line)
What I want:
Toyota 4 speed tranny swap
T-case that will play nice with the 4 speed (maybe that’s the one I’ve got or another)
Why I want it:
Don’t like the 3 speed. I need the rig to be a daily driver and be able to play somewhat nice for 5 miles of daily freeway driving. I’m not going to wheel it hard, but I want it to be up to the task of going up in the woods of Oregon and exploring past where most people can get. I want to do the conversion as easy as possible so I can actually accomplish it myself- hopefully Ha!
How you can help:
1. Direct me to good info/instructions on Mud for my swap. The search forums are still a bit confusing for me to navigate and when I get into one and the pictures are gone (grrrrr- the pics are what really helps my brain to get it).
2. Direct me to parts/adapters to get the job done.
3. WTB a 4 speed and t-case (if u think I need to replace my t-case)
Thx all!
