Outer Limits 4x4 Board

G'day all.
just wondering if anyone has done this before.
With mine and my brothers old ls1 landcruiser the h55 copped a flogging and never gave up.
i think i may have found a 80 series rolling chassis now i'm just wondering how hard it would be to put a h55 box in it?

it will also be getting an ls1 and have a 75 series cab (as long as the project goes ahead).
just seemed like a good idea, use something thats tried and tested.

Any feedback appreciated.

Cheers, Mark

I think the early carbi 3F 80 came with the H55f in, the early 80 with auto had the injected 3FE

It would have changed when the 4.5 1FZ came in.

ive got early 80 and box is h50

Standard box for the FJ80 was H150F. I can't see the point in going back to a H55F, the later box is a much stronger option especially 5th gear, but the OD ratio isn't as tall.

so you think a h150f would be better?
i was just going to use a h55f because the one in my old cruiser with an ls1 stood up to it pretty well.

H55f is fine just don't punch it in 5th 1-4 is very strong.

and dont forget the 60 chasiss comes with 2 differenet gear box cross member mounting positions

auto and manual are different, the auto is further back
