You might want to research which 4x4s used the 1JZ or 2JZ - I think the engine-trans bell housing bolt pattern between the 2 are the same, but don't know for certain. For example, on the Lexus side of things, the LX (Landcruiser) used a "JZ" engine and was 4wd, so the transmission and transfer case from that should bolt up. Now if, or how, it fits is another question entirely.

I believe the non turbo jz's used the r154 trannys. So if you got one of those bellhousings you could bolt it to a r150 4x4 tranny and transfer case. Now whether they used push or pull type clutch system, I do not know. But it must be compatible because this is a somewhat common swap. Some people even sold swap kits for this application.

Sweet a 1jz. You bought stock in head gaskets right?

Oops, nevermind. I was thinking of the "UZ" and had it in my mind you found a Toyota V8 twin turbo somewhere . . . wouldn't that be some kind of crazy?
