Mate, the first gxv was a 4.7 v8 2uzfe with a442f auto...same block as 1uzfe but with only 2 bolt bigendsi. The auto is std on 4.5 1fzfe, bell is available at Toyota spares for $750 would get a auto for that id think.......whats wrong with the 4.5 donk?? more torque.and cheaper. std looms etc...

a lexus v8 wouldnt be that great in an 80 series i reckon, makes its power to high in the rev range, so you would have to rev the tits off it to get a big 80 series rolling, so not ideal for a big 4wd. the 4.7L V8 would go alright.

If ya talkin 1uzfe then it would be money better spent on the 4.5..
if its the 2uz then it would proly be alright
