TOYOTA TRUCK FORD V8:
We have listed the components designed to couple a Ford engine and a Toyota 21 spline transfer case. These parts are designed
to work with a
GM 4WD NV4500 . This kit requires the use of a stock Ford bellhousing with a 4.848” index
diameter. We have listed the adapter plate that bolts the NV4500 transmission to the Ford bellhousing. A new, longer input shaft
is also required to compensate for the adapter plate thickness. We do not offer any bracketry to retain the stock slave cylinder, we
recommend that you use a stock Ford bellhousing equipped for a hydraulic linkage.
When using a Ford V8, you must secure a
Ford bellhousing that will also be compatible with the Toyota hydraulic clutch control. In 1985, Ford used a F150 bellhousing that
had a hydraulic slave cylinder mounted on the driver’s side of the bellhousing. The stock Toyota master cylinder may be need to
be replaced to work with the Ford slave cylinder. A new clutch disc that has the 1-1/8” 10 spline will be required to fit the new Dodge
input shaft.
The recommended clutch components for the adapter plate are found in the Ford Adapter Plate section of this manual.
The engine conversion components should be sourced out of our Toyota Truck Instruction Manual.
The transfer case adapter supplied in this kit is for the 21 spline Toyota transfer case. If you are going to use a 23 spline transfer
case, you can substitute the transfer case adapter for
P/N 50-0216 . When doing this conversion, you should anticipate driveline
modifications along with crossmember support repositioning. The shifter handle location on the NV4500 is 10.375” from the front
of the transfer case, which will require some floorboard modifications. The overall assembly length is
26.750 .
