Mark, It could be fitted to an FJ20T but the bearings and teeth were only designed for around 180 ft/lb torque. That's how most of them have been damaged is by fitting them behind turbo engines with big torque. The gear teeth tend to lay over under power and cracks form in the tooth base. They are great behind 4 and 6 cylinder N/A engines though. The 240RS option ones are able to take more torque and are used behind turbo engines. Even the bigger boxes are fragile behind a grunter.

Bellhousing would probably need changing,but could it be done????
