I'm trying to find out what it would take to make a r150f out of my 94 4x4 four runner fit in my 88 4x4 pickup. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
W 56 to r150f trans swap

Thank you for your reply. Do you know if my old driveshafts will still work? I also have the ones out of the 4 runner. I'm just gonna use the t case that's still attached to the r150f to. Again.. Thankyou

Slave cylinder, and clutch fork be ok ya think?
From a quick Google search. Looks like the driveline will be fine

The 150 looks like it's about an inch longer than the 56

Maybe the turbo bell housing is shorter and will make up the difference, and I'll still be able to use same drive shafts. Thank y'all for all the help
Pretty sure theyre within 1/2". IIRC when i went from the w56 to r150 the adaper plate (R to mini case) made the trans the same length
The turbo BH is the proper length for pre tacoma r150. Hydraulics swap.

I'm just gonna leave the transfer case on the r150f that came out of the 4 runner.

I just ran outside to check. They're both on the passenger side.

I would really like to have this r150f transmission behind my 22re, but I'm really hoping I won't have to change driveshaft length.

Maybe I should try to trade my r150f for a w56.
I don't understand the problem. Getting driveshaft lengths adjusted is not a big deal.

I thought they'd have to be cut and rewelded, and I figured that'd be expensive.
na its not too bad send it to olivers in winston salem and get them to fix them up.

Oliver's. Gotcha. I'll have to do something soon, the old w56 has got a rattle to it when in 4th and 5th climbing and loosing rpms. Which happens a lot with the weak 22. Couldn't pull a greasy string out a cat's ass.
Well none of them are powerful. Mine is really bad with 4.10s and 35s. Could look into getting your 56 rebuilt.
