your gona need new diff ratios. we wired up this exact same engine and auto to a hilux and the customer was complaining about not having o/d. It was actually that it would shift into 2nd at about 5kph and was overreving in top. [Report message to a moderator]

if your hilux was auto thou you may find ratios may be ok??? Have you got the engine yet? make sure you do the starter up before you fit it - there in an inaccessable spot once there in(under the intake manifoldfrom memory) [Report message to a moderator]
