Ok im two weeks away from ripping into my bj40 project, power steering from a 60 series, wider axles with disc brake from 60 all sitting in my garage ready to be put in.

Im also considering a 13b engine swap aswell, my question is if I got the 13b with 5 speed gearbox (I know it doesnt line up with my cross member and floor hole as its 2 inch longer or something) will this gearbox bolt straight onto my existing transfer case. I have two, one thats in the truck right now from the 4 speed 1981 and one from a donor truck I have thats 1982 bj60.

Also I will need to fab up new engine mounts? 1b in there at moment. I was thinking about shifting the engine forward 2 inches as I heard that then it will line the gearbox up and also it gives more room for a turbo (I have a turbo on the b engine which could go onto the 13b)

Thanks for your help in advance

Also another quick thing, 13b are they all 24 volt? since my truck is 12 volt is this gonna be a nightmare?

Nah not all 24v. Think you can mix and match a few bits from 3b's anyway.

You have to file/cut a bit off the bottom of the starter to make it fit I think.

Cheers for your help doesnt sound too much of a mission then. One last thing, the toyota dyna came out with landcruiser engines, did they come out with the same gearboxes aswell h55f's ? or are they completely different gearboxes?

Isn't the fuel shut off solenoid 24 volt as well?

Cool, just bought the engine, its out of a dyna. Apparently it is 12 volts so no worries there. Should I forget about wanting to use the 5 speed from it since its prob a dyna box/ might not mount up to my exisiting transfer case/ lengths and everything where the 13b should go straight in (sorta) and I could just bolt my h44 gearbox on and pronto. which bell housing would I use?

Picking the engine/gearbox combo up in three weeks
