has any one ever put a turbo 1hz in to a soft top fj40?
how hard was it to do ?
is there room to put a 5 speed gear box and t case out of a 80?
if so did any cross member have to be moved and what about the tail shaft?

Look up "Stoive" on this site. From memory he installed a 1HZ (don't know if it was turbo or not) into a BJ40. Funnily enough it is a soft top although I'm not entirely sure how much difference that makes to the conversion.

if you wanted to you could run the box from a 75 series if you did not turbo it
they are very similar in size to the 4 speed and runs the spit case so you could use a trans brake
and would fitt easier than the masive h150
plus most h150 have full time
