I have a 1982 toyota pickup with the L52 trans, and I am swapping in a 5.3 ls. I have seen a few people say they have a sbc to a L52 trans, but I cannot find anything about how it was done.
How do I use a L52 trans paired to a sbc?

Not sure what's available any more. These trucks are getting old, and not many left, at least where I am. Check this place out, not sure they can help, but a call won't hurt. https://www.advanceadapters.com/ Making what you need wouldn't be hard if you know someone that would do it. Another option would be to buy a conversion kit for a land cruiser and modify it to fit your transmission.

I have looked at them, and I may give them a shout just to see what they say. But from what I have seen the L52 bell housing is one piece with the case, meaning it does not unbolt, but I need to look at my trans to verify. If this is the case then im not quite sure how it would work. Was wondering if maybe the sbc would bolt right up to it, but i doubt it with the trans being made for a 4 cylinder but idk im not an expert by no means. Going to measure bell housing and everything on trans and then go do same for sbc bolt pattern and see what is going on for size comparison.
