Transmissions: a442 vs a343 (1 Viewer)

[scottryana]

Yeah if there is a fairly easy way to do it I say absolutely go for it. I thought for sure there would be a way to do it with the 1FZ using Toyota parts since the A750 on paper was designed to be very close dimensionally to the A343, but unfortunately we were not able to make it happen. If you do please document it. Thanks!

Micro Squirt is fine (first time I hear about it), but I dont see it as able to be used with an A750F, besides, my 80, it is pricier, but I think it should be betteras for keeping it all Toyota (!)

Money is always an issue, but I want to do it, just need to get an A750F to see the bolting holes properly, if it is as I have been researching, then it would be a done deal...

There's no doubt it's possible.

I saw that, but as I said, engines...that guy's isn't what I have...mine is a 1HD-T, I believe his is a 1HD-FT...but...blocks should be the same, therefore no probs!

As long as you can get them to cut you the adapters.

"After a couple of weeks of CAD drawing and laser cutting all the adapters and spacers to get them spot on, we finally had it finished…. well mechanically anyway."

yup, I read that...but not sure what adapters he refers to...no matter, just going to find an A750F, I have a spare bellhouse, so i will measure it on the spot...if it is close, it will be done...if needs many mods...it will also be done, but will take longer...

You can buy the whole kit from them. It's not cheap, but if you really want an A750f behind your Toyota diesel all it takes is a CC number.

Also, in the context of that blog post, it seems to me he is referring to the spacer/adapter needed to move the crossmember not adapt the transmission to the engine.

 

[panamacruiser]

if it is the cross member part, I'm good then...to start I have an A442F, it is larger that an H151F, so replacing it with an A750F should be fairly simple...I've been busting my head over this for a while...need to make all the correct moves, as wife will be very upset if inside "it does not look well" she doesn't care much about what it does or what is it for, it needs to look good...my car is a daily driver, currently with about 730K kilometers on clock...when it reaches a mill will post...I'm the second owner for 16 years now

Well here is the reply from Rodney in Australia about the conversion. There is nothing about it that sounds cheap. Lol.

Ok...they are doing an overkill, but I get it...so...an used A750F will run me down about $600 and the wiring is like $1500...will need the shifter that may be somewhere like $100 ballpark? so...all that being said, it will cost me about $2500 for any otherthing I may need...not bad really
