AW4 conversion
Anyone done the Jeep AW4 conversion on a Toyota? My research indicates a late 80's Jeep AW4 can be installed in place of the A340H POS by swapping bell housings, removing the transfer case from the AW4, installing an adapter plate from a supplier and then attaching a JEEP manual transfer case. Great, but what about all the electricals from Jeep to Toyota? And, can a Toyota transfer case be put behind the AW4? Thanks in advance for any experiences with this concept that you may share with the audience.

I know the AW4 is exactly the same as the auto that comes behind the 3.4l toyota's not sure if that helps you though. Being a former jeep owner i have to warn you that the aw4 puts out lots of heat, but then toyota's have an actual radiator as compared to the pos that you find in a cherokee.

I have never heard of this, I dont think its that easy, cause the torque converter and the flex plate may pose a problem. Also the computers, I know are different (and the transmission is electronically controlled if I remember correctly).
Why would you want heep parts in a toyota? Thats the real question, yeah the automatic isnt the best, but seriously you are going to swap out the drivetrain of one of the most reliable vehicles out there for a jeep part...
doesnt really make sense to me.
Edit: Danggit!!!! I do that every time, I never read the dates on the first post!!

Honestly, I didn't look at the date either.
But my buddy was asking about something along these lines. That way he can run a Toy reduction box with a Dana t-case behind it in his Jeep.
And everyone keeps mentioning Crappy Heep parts, if I'm not mistaken, the AW4 is basically the same be it in a Cherokee or a Tacoma, they are all built by AISIN.
Does anyone know anything about this topic?
