My buddy did this swap.
He used a Downey kit (advance), 3.8 buick, TH350 to his stock t-case.
I think he's moving to v-8 power with a manual.
Do you want me to ask him if he's willing to sell the adapters?
Overall the conversion makes a fine driver and good all around trail truck. he hasn't bust anything in 4 years.

75 FJ40, 4 inch BDS springs, 1inch body, 35's, detroit EZ locker, power steering, disc brakes, 3spd low range gears, full cage, XD9000i, extended shackles, dual batteries....you get the idea.

I had the chance to drive a Toy pickup with a 3.8 4 or 5 years ago and it was a blast to drive. Lots of power. A couple of good resources for the swap info are the Advance Adapters Toyota engine swap catalogue and the Downey catalogue also has some info. If you go in person to North Shore Off Road they will give you these catalogues...call them 1st to make sure they have them.
