I think you can get an adapter that will bolt to your bellhousing adapter so you can use the r154 from the mk3 turbo supra. And I think the late model v6 tacoma's also use a beefy R-series transmission that will bolt to it. But the regular aluminum case w-series transmissions will still take a good beating.

....and kids....this is why you should wear flip flops moving heavy *** 4G's.
It ain't no thing though. ----'ll buff out and I just walked it off.
The fun was getting it out of my wifes Chevy Venture by myself as the wife is ready to pop out the kid. So I took a big breath and went Hotrex on that ****** lifted out. 
Now that's how you get that ---- done.

Re: the never ending project takes a turn...
Yeah I know it's a NA motor. :P It's got a turbo head! lol. Naw I could find any turbo motors. He had a turbo short block for 75 bucks. Though it was sitting unused for a year and the walls were kinda rusty and was run dry. So by the time I did the machine work on it I would of over what this cost. What the big difference...oil squirters and lower compression pistons? It's still a 6 bolt and with it an autotragic it should be(old wives tale..) less beat. I'll find out today when I start tearing her down.
