Tomorrow I'm going to look at a 86 2WD ext cab with a 22RTE(Cali)... I'm pretty sure I'll buy the truck just for the motor but I'm curious about the technicalities.
Will I be able to put my 80 4x4 RF1A transfer case (which currently has a L34 in front of it) on the back of a R151F tranny (that currently has the 2WD RF1A transfer case behind it)?

Basically it would be nice to take the tranny from the 2WD truck and put it on my 1980 4x4 transfercase.


Will update tomorrow how the snooping goes. Would be a great upgrade from my 20R.

let me say it another way... No.

No. The cheapest and fastest "up grade" is the 20/22R hybrid...

You're about to face a NIGHTMARE of wiring... Good luck wit dat...


and throw that tranny away and get a G, W or even R.

Aye, this was my original thought... But I think it would be somewhat straight forward with a full dash + wiring harness swap.

I successfully hand made a complete engine harness from the stub plugged into the brain of my VW Jetta after an engine fire and rebuild.... Seems like just fitting an 86 harness to an 80 couldn't prove too painful. I realize the lights and such won't be plug and play but those are easy to solder.

go for it .. assuming you get a good matching tranny for it.. but 4.3 may be the way to go for you.

Skamaniak

Pretty much set on getting the truck if its what its said to be.... just selling the tranny would pay for the vehicle.

I don't see how... It has a R150... not R151. I repeat. It does NOT have the granny gear.

Skamaniak

didn't the R150 come behind the 3VZE in the 88-95's?

This' a gear driven tc.

read his post again... He's talking about a 2WD truck... And yes, the V6 is a R150.

:face palm: The R151F's were Turbo 4WD ONLY.

Skamaniak

sorry, I thought you were talking about my first post... not vital22re's post.

According to http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/faq/parts/ it should have the R151F... We'll see in the morning. Thanks guys.

D'oh!

Skamaniak

Sorry your frustration... I'm still new to yota's. Doing a frame up build but have yet to drive one

I assumed by that table (which I realize is not completely accurate) that it'd have to have the R151F since it doesn't have hubs (its 2wd) or a V6 like the A340F was built for.

The problem with 4x4 specific sites is they tend to leave the 2WD stuff out...

Advanced Adapters does the same thing... I tried to find the same thing you are out but a phone call to them had to do it.

Plus, I got a 2WD in my possession after that. It's got the conversion BH guys want so they can put a V6 tranny behind a 4cyl truck, but R150 denotes it does not have the low 1st gear. Also, the TC behind it is 23 spline. I believe the one you have 21.

Skamaniak

Well, picked it up. $400 for a complete truck... not bad. Especially for what this puppy has. More pics here: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116...22rtec-204326/


Tranny has the plug:


And the motor looks solid.
