Great site with tons of info! Been reading other sites about the swap for a long time, but much more specific info here!
I have been planning a conversion and wanted to make sure that what I am planning is feasible:
* 1983 FJ60
* 4BT -> ZF 5spd tranny -> NP205 -> Ford 9" centered rear axle
* SOA w/ 35" tires to clear engine
Questions:
1. How elusive are the adapters to go from the 4BT to a ford manual tranny? Do I have to buy a Ford van or can I buy the bellhousing later? Cost?
