Ford Small Block V8 to the Land Cruiser 4 and 5-Speed Manual
| To comply with Australian emission laws the new engine must have been manufactured the same year or later than the vehicle. The engine must also have all of the emission components connected, including the catalytic converter. In this instance the engine must also be run on unleaded fuel or LPG. An older engine can be fitted providing it's run only on LPG fuel. In Australia an engineer's report is required after the conversion has been completed. Contact your local RTA office for a list of engineers. |
| Engine Kit Ford V8 to FJ6# 4 and 5-Speed Manual Kit part no. (MFK555) utilises the Ford flywheel and clutch along with the Toyota bellhousing. Instead of a new bellhousing, a flywheel housing is supplied which measures 122 mm/4.8" long. This housing has the Ford bolt pattern on the front and the Toyota 1F, 2F, and 3F, bolt pattern on the rear.The kit has been designed to allow for firewall clearance without shifting the transmission or altering the drive shaft lengths. The gear box input shaft is coupled to the clutch via an input extension shaft. The shaft has the Toyota internal spline and spigot diameter on the gearbox end with the Ford external spline (1 1/16"x10T) and spigot diameter on the engine end. The front of the shaft is supported in the crankshaft by a sealed ball bearing. The clutch is operated through a new thrust bearing extension sleeve, which is supported in a machined boss located in the centre of the housing. On the front of the sleeve is a bearing to suit the Ford clutch pressure plate. |
