there are a few 5 speeds that came behind 1HZ's:

early HZJ75's have the H55F gearbox similar to late 40/60 series, but the input shaft is different.
HZJ80's have a H150F gearbox
HZJ105's have a R151F gearbox

to the best of my knowledge however there is NO bellhousing* to do what you want, except for the H55F, in which case the bellhousing from a 40/60/early 75 series will do the job, but the input shaft spline is different and the input shaft is longer on the later models, so you will end up having to get the input shaft out of the earlier gearbox - in which case, you might as well get the early gearbox anyway (pre 1989 H55F from a 60 or 75 series with 3F or 2H or 12H-T motor).

if you are considering a gearbox conversion it might make good sense to try and pick up a motor and gearbox combo, it will be more $ to start with but less stuffing around in the long run.


*I could be wrong....

Yup, an input shaft change is all that it would take. And yes, the floor board would need a new hole cut and the driveshafts may have to be resized.

To keep the parking brake, you will need to keep your old transfer unless you want to also use the rear diff from the 95.
