I have a running/driving 72 FJ55 with the original F motor and 3-speed tranny.
I plan to continue using this drivetrain as long as I can (don't fix it if it ain't broke) but I have access to a very low mile 6.0 with a 4L80e Tranny and the NP246 Transfer Case to go with it. The new drivetrain is (2004 with 80k miles). So I need to consider this for future planning.
Question: I've done several 4.8 & 5.3 Vortec swaps in FJ40s so I'm sure the (6.0) Engine & (4L80e) Tranny will work like a charm, but will the NP246 transfer case clear and line up nicely with the front & rear FJ55 differentials or do I need to go with another Toyota txfer case, etc.. ?
If I eventually upgrade my driveline, I'd like to keep it all together (engine/tranny/txfer case) but I'm open to feedback from those that have tried it before.
Thanks for any feedback,
Mike
