Use the standard transmission and a transfer box.
Have you checked to see if the 1u will actually fit in the troopy?

Just remember that a Chev V8 is a push rod single cam where as the 1U is a quad cam! Hellofalot bigger!

i'll go find a tape measure, and ask my mate if i can borrow his engine bay for a day just to do some measureing. but yeah my funds are limited for a while so i might have to wait. but i'll have some more thinking, and looking, and maybe a bit more thinking, thanks.

from memory, the 1UZFE occupies a cube roughly 700mm a side.

Well, remember that Landcruisers (except the 78 series...) come with the 2UZ these days, I don't know my bush bashers well enough, but it *might* be possible to swap bellhousings etc. around a bit to get it in a bit easier? Don't like to think what such parts might cost, though...
