Toyota Landcruiser had a PTO 3 speed tranny and winch in it's '69 model at least. I had one that had a chevy 327ci motor in it. Advance Adapters makes the bellhousing stuff. The problem with the 327 was PTO shaft clearance. You may find that with any V8 where your shaft goes forward, I dont know. I ran into problems off road where my headders impacted the shaft during radical suspension changes (over BIG rocks and stuff). If I had the original I-6 (which is almost an exact copy of a Jeep 258ci) I would not have run into problems. I know a 3-speed sounds bad, but many are re-geared for higher speeds. Dont ask me who or does it though, I burned my obnoxious, high horsepower, monster tire, magazines the first time I picked up a PWA. That Landcruiser was a death-machine (on the road anyway) I hope for humankind's sake It's found it's way to a scrapyard somewhere. Best of luck Major.
