A Chevy 6.2 V8 paired with the 6L80E 6-speed transmission is the answer. At Land Cruiser Restorations, this is one of our most popular builds — and for good reason. We retain the factory transfer case, upgrade the suspension to Old Man Emu leaf springs and shocks for roughly 2.5 inches of lift, and handle everything from a custom exhaust and wiring harness to new fuel lines, cooling system, and professional tuning. When it leaves our shop, it’s a complete, road-tested build ready for another lifetime of adventure.
