70 series landcruiser automatic conversion cost

Converting a 70 Series LandCruiser to an automatic isn’t a $50 sausage sizzle; think roughly AUD $18,000–$35,000 drive-in/drive-out for a quality kit, install, cooling, and tune. Top-tier builds (heavy towing, big tyres, lock-up control, engineering certificates) can nudge $40k+, while parts-only kits might sit around $12k–$18k before labour. For context, a new 70 Series in Australia is typically $75k–$90k+, and used examples range about $60k–$120k depending on variant and accessories. Expect 3–5 days in the workshop, a 12–24 month warranty from reputable converters, and a nicer time in traffic and on climbs; purists will still prefer rowing their own. Costs vary by engine, donor gearbox choice, state compliance, and extras—so get a written quote and confirmation of engineering approval before handing over the keys.
