Thanks for the impute(and the output <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />) guys keep me in mind. I do have the driveline to fit the V6 tranny and the crossmember. But I'll need to get the clutch pedal assembly and probably need to change the brake pedal too. I'm assuming that the toyota makes the 'under the dash' structure the universal so they can go either AT or stick. Thanks again, rj

That is correct.

if it hasn't been mentioned already, marlin makes a v6/turbo tranny to gear driven t-case adapter. however, i think it's around 300 bucks

The adapter Marlin sells is only necessary with the R150F transmission used behind the V6 motor. The R151F transmission used behind the 22RTE turbo motor comes stock with a 23 spline gear driven transfer case, no adapter necessary.

There is another way.

I can get this adapter that allows a R series trans to be mated to a W or G52 series bellhousing so you could easily source a stock 22R bellhousing and mate it to the R150/151.

Obviously the best is to get the 22RE Turbo setup and it may be cheaper as the guy wants about $US350 for this and then there's postage.


ADAPTER

Thanks for all the help guys. I found a guy that needs a V6 tranny and has a w56 that he'll trade me for it. It's coming out of a 86 roll-over and I think it has all the rest of the parts I'll be needing too.

I know this is all too late, but i have factual info for y'all i can share.

I put the R151F behind my V6 where there used to be an R150.

The Clutch and stuff on the 3vze is the SAME as the 22RTE. bolts right up. the disk and PP are slightly larger on the turbo/v6.

The 3vze bellhousing bolts right to the front of the r151f tranny. No clutch linkage adjustment required.

want an r150 behind your 22RE? Use the bellhousing from the turbo truck. Need one? I can't use the one I have!!

Marlin DOES make an adapter to put the gear driven case behind the R150. He does not make an adapter to put the r151 behind the 3VZE because Toyota did it for you.

Same under the dash? yes. It is all metal. You can cut it wherever you want! How do things line up? Well, I don't know where the shifters will land if you put an R150 behind your 22re because I haven't tried it. I do know that the R151f tranny and forward shift t-case hole are 2.5 inches further forward than they were with my R150.

Oh, the tail shaft housing on the R151f is different than the R150. For sure. you may think you can use it to put a gear t-case behind the r150...Maybe, but I doubt it. I think you would need the tailshaft of the Turbo tranny too. Not only is the length different, but the forward shift tower is different too! The top shifters are either the tall or the short, right? The foward shift tower on the r150 is obviously wider on 1 end when you look at the bolt holes. The turbo truck's R151f is between the two! So, no short shift t-case kit if you want to use a FWD shift turbo truck tranny and t-case. you'll have to build the tower extension yourself.

v6 guys...If i had to do it all over again, I would just get the v6 to gear t-case adapter from marlin. If you REALLY must have the lower first gear ratio afforded by the turbo tranny, go all the way and have marlin put in the 5.15 first gear cluster from the Austrailian tow trucks. might was well go all the way!
