Anyone done this? Will the 22RE bellhousing swap to the R150, or is there a 22RE-compatible bellhousing that would do the trick?

I am thinking through a migration path for a 3.4 swap for my 4Runner*, and my stock tranny synchos seem to be trending downhill (slowly, fortunately). So I would rather do the swap and 23 spline conversions, than rebuild the stocker and replace it shortly thereafter. Don't yet have a timeline, depends on funding (which of course depends on a lot of other things... <img border="0" alt="[Barf]" title="" src="graemlins/barf.gif" /> ).

(I could do the R151, but good ones are rare and remans from Marlin are not trivial. Also, a conversation with Dave @ Marlin left me wanting the 96+ R150, as it has more bronze bushings and is a stouter unit than the R151. A solid cheap R151 wouldn't break my heart... could I also have a doggie and a pony with that? <img border="0" alt="[Hillbilly]" title="" src="graemlins/notooth.gif" /> )

*which would include the engine, rad, tranny, universal harness, Marlin V6 plate, 23 spline input on both cases. Oh, and a Sawzall hood. Not for the fainthearted.
