I found a couple of NPR's on ebay for around $800 each. Both had engine issues but that doesn't really concern me as I plan on rebuilding them. For around $1500 you can get a complete overhaul kit including new piston, liners, bearings, valves, valve springs, valve guides, retainers, valve seats, gaskets and new oil pump. Essentially, you have a new engine.

Regarding the NV4500 - someone makes an adapter to connect this transmission to the LC TC. I don't remeber who.

Regarding pictures - I plan to pull the 4BD1T out of the NPR in the near future. Once I do, I'll take some pictures. I'm not sure that i know how to post them but I'll try. I'll also get some exact measurements and weights
I believe its Advanced Adapters is it not?

I cannot wait to see this swap!!!
