Well, ok- but you left the cost of purchasing the R151 out of the equation! It really is pretty much internally the same as an R150 (1st gear ratio excepted), which he has, except for the tailpiece. I'd bet a decent R151 will cost more than his V6 adapter.


I guess that I did not word that very well. Buying a R151F will likely not cost more than an adapter AND rebuilding his current R150F, however if the turbo tranny needs to be rebuilt than all bets are off.

I dunno, my 3.4 pulls stumps pretty well. The superfluity of the lower first gear probably has to do with 5.29s more than dual cases! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> It could pull 4.88s easily (but I'm only running 35s).


Really? I've got 4.88s and 33s on the 4Runner and I don't think this engine has much low end power at all. If I try to let it lug down it just stalls. I am constantly slipping the clutch in rockcrawling situations (which admittedly isn't what this vehicle was designed for).
