It would vary, depends on what cases and boxes you are talking about. More specifics on what you plan to do, then the details of some popular swaps will come the surface.

G6=pile of shit
GB=pile of shit
TF=pile of shit


swap the lot out, it would be cheaper and more worth while in the long run.

What would you recommend other than V8 (keeping in mind the limited space in the engine bay and not-so heavy duty vehicle in general)? No I'm not going to buy another vehicle :roll:

yeah its hard, but i would say v6 commo the hilux t-case, althou i think that you out put might be on the wrong side so you would have to look at a later model gear box.

To rebuild your box and transfer is about $2200 (with new chain) and a good second hand motor (should there be anything wrong with yours) is 1850. combine these to prices and i think you are well on your way to a conversion providing you can do alot of the work yourself.
