When installing any GM 4 or 5 spd, Advance adapters does not tell you but the FJ will need at least a 1" body lift. Also after doing that swap myself, let me tell you there is a lot of work involved. Not hard, but the instructions are a general guide and a lot of little important details get left out. If he has a 76 or later cruiser and the 4 spd, a H41 4spd has a lower 1st gear and will drop right in, I think the H55 will do the same. If he has the 3 spd then lots of stuff will need to be done, drive shafts, new mounts etc...
