Seray76- I hope that works out for you. If you do it, make sure to take lots of pics and all. :-). And if you don't mind my asking, what kind of price are you finding on that motor/tranny and do you know if it has the electronics intact and is running and all. Also, I think that the NQR is what the NPR turned into. Not sure though. I hope we don't have to lift the truck since it is a slightly bigger engine than the 4bd1t. Anyway, keep us posted for sure.

To answer your questions:
1)you would have to disassemble both trannys to swap output shafts. I have never rebuilt an auto tranny, only manual ones, but from what others have told me, it's fairly involved.
2)I found a truck that is running and has all of the electronics intact...I will be driving it home. The engine was just rebuilt by an isuzu diesel mechanic. He wants 6K for it but I think I can get it for a little less. I think it's a decent deal because I am getting the tranny, motor, and all of the electronics. Plus, I will be able to get some money back for the rest of the truck, and I don't have to worry about the motor since its been rebuilt. It ran super strong. All of the wrecked ones I have been finding are every bit that expensive and you never know whether the motor is worth a crap or not. Often times you end up rebuilding them anyway.
3) I won't be able to tell you for sure whether or not it would fit in an unlifted truck. Mine is already lifted. I will give you my best guess once I get it mounted though.
