    gearbox choices for v8 hilux

    im doing a rebuild of an old hilux iv got and im thinking of doing a re power for a v8, the plan is to use it for club comps/ winch challenged and other hard off roading. does anyone know from experience what gearboxes are best to use? i want to do it once and do it right. i will also be upgrading the rest of the drivetrain to handle the extra power so i dont want any weaknesses.

    1UZ, 2UZ or 3UZ?

    R151 might work for a bit.

    Not hard to find or expensive. KNZ165 Hilux

    I converted my transfer case from push button 4WD to lever (chain transfer case) If you want to run the very strong gear transfer case, adapters are available from the states.

    The Prado also uses the R151 and is full time 4WD but the transfer case is on the other side, so a front diff swap is required.

    Grippy tires, plenty of grunt, extra weight & old parts combined with generous throttle angle applications will inevitably end in various amounts of bad language after varying amounts of fun

    Always great to hear the rumble of a V8 going past, then turning to see a tall Hilux going past

    Sorry I am thinking of the H151, tho the R151 must be getting hard to find a good one these days.
