did the 89 have the 3.0 6cyl? the current issue of 4wd toyota owner magazine had an article on swap options for these cruisers with price estimates, pros & cons, and summaries. all toyota engines though. which is what i would stick with personally.
Actually Anthony, the 350 TBI properly built isn't a bad set up and it's pretty popular primarily due to ease of getting parts and low cost. Up here alot of guys also use the Chevy V6 for an FJ40 swap.
Downey sells adapters for LC's, not sure about an 89 model, as far as the bellhousing adapters and what not. If I were to swap in a Chevy anything, I'd swap in a Chevy trans and t-case to boot. Oh yeah, NWOR sells stuff too, but don't buy from them lol!
As previously stated, Advanced Adapters or Downey would have the adapters and motor mounts and such.
There is nothing wrong with the transmission or transfer case in that truck. Very stout.
Your best source of information will be ih8mud.com, as you have already been told.
The 89 is an FJ62. It is a nice candidate for an engine upgrade, such as a GM 350, or even one of the newer Vortec V8's.
I helped a friend swap a GM 350 into his 1976 FJ55. What a difference! Don't remember what adapters he used, it was years ago.
