The stock 4 speed transmission can be retained when using a GEN III V8. There are two styles of adapter kits for mating the stock 4 speed to these engines.
We manufacture a new bellhousing that bolts the Chevy V8 to the Land Cruiser 4 speed. Our bellhousing will require the transfer case to be relocated forward a minimum distance of 3-1/2”. This relocation is required for clearance necessary around the Chevy V8 distributor. This kit also requires driveshaft & floorboard modifications. Be aware that placing the engine too far forward can cause excessive clearance issues with the 4 speed shifter and heater vent. Also, most shifter handles will need to be modified to provide heater vent clearance.
