Hey guys. I posted a thread a few months ago about putting a toyota V8 in my 73 fj -40 and after doing some digging I found that the easiest way to do this is to use a 1uz 4.0 from a lexus and a five speed from the early turbo pickup. I found a place in australia that has the bell housing and all of the clutch parts to mate the two but I,m still wondering what to do about the T-case. Will my stock 73 T-case bolt up to the turbo tranny or do I have to take some other route with this. Sorry for the novel, any info would be of help.

Sounds like you might want to talk to Chris Gieger at Marlin. You could probably use the turbo t-case reduction box with an MC-21 adapter but Chris would know for sure...

run the toyota turbo tranny and the t-case it came with with a low gearset and get the centered rear from cv unlimited.

...get the centered rear from cv unlimited.

...or, make your own....

yeah , and use the coarse spline stuff too even the axles if you can find em . yummy cryoed coarse spline everything . But then again I run disc's on a drum birf so all of us are just a little off , huh ? Where do you get the custom axles for the 9's .

hey peesalot your idea sparked a though in my brain. how about going with an atlas transfer case. I know they are expensive but then I can keep the rear ofset axle because, correct me if I'm rong, their t-case is kind of universal and after looking at one it looks like there is a spot to run either center or right side rear output.

 

[woody]

nope...atlas is centered rear output only....and it's over $2k....orion is cheaper and bolts right up.

A built-to-the-hilt Dana 300 is about $1200-1500...doing one myself right now...

hey woddy thatnks for correcting me. that kinda sucks because it would have been an easy fix. I think I'm going to have to go with the marlin crawler toy box adapter so I can use my stock t-case.

 

[woody]

you'll like the Marlin....nice product. take LOTS of pics and keep us posted!

Or you can run a minitruck t-case...
