The bell housings looks to be a little diferent,

We modified the W56 bellhousing bolt pattern to catch with the 5VZ

The air box filter is on the oposite side, so the snorkel is it too, so you can see the pipe line to the air intake.

I was running the 22RE with 4.88 and was a little weak, but wasn't in my plans to swap the engine until it's died. I was just get a new set of R&P (5.29 rear and 5.38 front), is better to keep the 4.88's with the 5VZ or i must install the new R&P sets??

I would drive it with the 4.88's first.... See how you like it. The 5.29's will raise the highway RPM's some...

Hate to bring a dead thread back to life but i am looking at doing the 3.4l swap in my 86 22r4 4runner with a w56.
How has the w56 held up? Also involved was the modification of the bellhousing? It looks to me that you notched the bellhousing in two spots and welded some metal spacers in. Correct?
