If keeping your stock 3.0 auto and t-case is a deciding factor in doing the engine swap, please do an axle swap.
I have an engine and tranny, 3.4 and 340F, designed to work together. The tranny has gears tuned to the engines power band and it works well.
The stock case and tranny are likely tired. Putting a real engine in front of them sounds like a bad plan.
I have not read much of what Mike is doing. Sorry if it is redundant.
I do have a friend who has a 4.7 in a Tundra with the stock auto and a crawler. It works killer. Engine and tranny are pals, as they ought to be.
The 3.4 auto swap is just ticking of all the things on 90-95 trucks that are subpar. If you want power, charge it and play with fuel and boost.
Good luck.

yo cheese,
Thanks for the heads-up.
That having been said, I think I’m still going to try this out… I’m not going for raw power, more the ease of the swap. but I’m sure there will be things that I haven’t thought of… yeah, I may blow up my stock tranny, but at least I gave it a shot. I’m not trying to cut corners, but it does sound pretty good on paper…

Still hurting on the "easy" part of this. Can't get my mind around it. I have an auto swapped truck, as I said. I have done other 3.4 stick swaps.
If you just want to do it to be different, that is cool too.
TSP has never shared any superficial tech on making that work. Again, if you can do part of it, why not the whole thing?
To me, she is disrobed on the bed after an hour of pushing buttons. Why not just seal the deal instead of calling in the stunt-wang to finish the job?
Good luck, this ought to be something to see. Lots of good parts coming together, just not sure I get them, or that I have to.

Don't tell me I told you so, that sucks.
Make something neat.
It is clear you are doing what you want to do. Same reason I have a truck with leaves and links. It is how I built my truck. That is why there are no pics here because every other wise guy would tell me it was stupid.
I am not saying this is stupid, just not getting the justification as it has been shown.

I meant you could tell me that when it all goes to crap.
and I really did take what you said into account when planning... you've been around for a while and I respect your opinion.
soooooo.... we'll see.... my parts should all be here tomorrow. like I said, time will tell.

For those of you wondering... I did a lot of research for my soon to be Supra Swap. Cali swaps are possible by using an engine with all the emissions equipment. As long as you're using an engine from a light duty vehicle to another LT vehicle, or HD to HD (Same weight family). State referees have confirmed this. LT vehicles are considered anything from mini's to 1 tons. Plus, the state referees from what I hear are pretty cool about getting you where you need to be to get your CARB sticker.... so no worries!
