Supra only requires that you use the bell housing from the supra. I have picked entire donors for 500-800 bucks. I have done the 5MGE and 7MGE as well as my current 4.3 which blows em both away.

Wonder if anyone has thought of or tried a 3 liter V6 out of a Ford Ranger. Might be a little more frugal with gas and still have some reasonable power.

Thanks for all you help.. that advance adapters site looks really good.. you have no idea how much this has helped me.. thank you

any ideas on how to get the ford ranger's 6 cylinder engine in my truck?

Dont bother with that.
If you want a ford motor, put in a 302.
V6? Either a 4.3 chevy, 3.8 buick (if you want a carbie) or a 3.4 toyota
v8, either the 302, or a chevy small block. 302 will be the easiest tho, because of the front mounted distributor and overall smaller sizes.

Remove toyota engine, tranny, and mounts, install ford engine and tranny. Fabricate engine mounts from scrap. Make new drive shafts and crossmember. Splice in Ford wiring harness.

Thanks for the ideas guys.. I really appreciate it.. with gas prices skyrocketing.. I may go for a smaller, yet larger than stock motor.. somewhere in the range of what the ford ranger had.. I wanted to do the chevy 350 short block conversion, but I dont know how much its gana cost me. both in gas and parts. lol

If I did this motor swap.. what would I use for a clutch??? or is it the same transmission?

You would have to use the Ford transmission and clutch since there is no adapter to use the toyota transmission that I'm aware of.

Your probably better off selling your truck and buying a ranger.

i'd agree with adam.
I wouldnt even bother with a ranger engine, it will get the same MPG as any v8 you put in, but have less power, my cousins 03' 4.0 v6 ranger eats gas as much as my 3.4 4runner... which is no prize hog to begin with. bout the same 0-60 too.. SLOW...
in a little 2wd reg cab they are quick, in a x-cab or SUV.. not a chance, not worth swapping.
If you want a ford, do the 302... it'll get the same mpg as a 3.0 or a 4.0 but with way more torque... you could even run 4.10's with 33's or 35's to drop your highway RPM's to get even better mileage...
