Turbo 4runner 5 spped swap
Hey everyone. I have a 87 turbo 4runner auto of course.
Im looking into doing a 5 speed swap. From the research ive done is it true that the only transmission that will fit it is the r151?
Is that the transmission off the 3.0 v6?
Thanks all

R151 = the turbo 5-speed, R150 = V6 5 speed.
Major differences are the 151 has the bell housing that bolts to a 22R block and the output that bolts to a gear driven t-case. The R150 bellhousing mates up to the V6 block and the t-case is set up for a chain driven case. A W56 transmission would also bolt up, not quite as strong as the R151 but more common:

So if i found a 4runner or pickup with the w56 I would be able to make the swap without any problems?
No I need any wiring off the donor vehicle?
