<strong>AFAIK the tranny is the same bolt pattern as ours.</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">This is just gonna make everyone even more sick, but that engine is most likely a direct bolt in to at least '86 through '95 Toyotas. The bellhousing is most likely for an R151 if the tranny was a 5 speed. So, I imagine any R series tranny will bolt up or a W series with the proper bell housing from Australia. The only issue I could see is the fact that it was for a Prado. That would have the same suspension as the Tacoma (I think) which might mean the oil pan is shaped incorrected to fit around the older truck's diff. But since the Hilux, which also has this engine as an option, has the same frame/motormounts/diff as the '86-'95 trucks, finding the proper oil pan, and bolted it all up, shouldn't take more than a weekend. Then there's the wiring, but I imagine if the whole harness is there that's not a problem. The exhaust is on the wrong side, but you could just do what they do on the Hilux and route it under the tranny. And finally the fuel system would have to be changed. Just flush the gas tank and reroute a few lines and your done.

BTW, if I did the conversion correctly, the horse power output is 118hp, which isn't too bad. But, the torque is a whopping 240 ft/lbs at only 1800 rpm!! Add an intercooler and it's much better than that. And gas mileage in the teens will only be a thing of the past. Figure low to high 20s depending on your driving.

I'm so jealous. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
