i have an FJ40 fitted with the B2 Diesel engine. In the future I will be updating the engine and transmission to something more modern, unsure of the route I should go.
Looking at the layout of the FJ, the transmission I use needs to have a right hand side front output due to the off set diff of the FJ, the rear is also off set to the right of the vehicle but I assume a central output gearbox will still work with the off set diff.
After looking at other manufacturers layouts, Isuzu troopers and the rodeo pickups have the correct transmission layout. Cost wise I could purchase a whole vehicle very responsible.
Your thoughts,suggestions, advise and ideas would be appreciated. ( other Toyota 4x4 swaps if poss )
With regards to devaluing my FJ, as it is already fitted with the in correct engine for this model the value would remain the same as it is not original?
Thanks in advance.
