Thanks RamblinOn. My hope was this thread would help someone else out.

Beasty- I am not sure what you want to do for cooling. I am not sure with the w56 in the stock location if you could clear a mechanical fan. You may not need a drive shaft if you can leave the crossmember in the stock place. You can also use the stock alternator if you want. I didn't see a pilot bearing adapter on your list. Luke can get you one.

Hey Joe,
just checking in and seeing how you still like your swap? I'm in the process of finishing my swap, had to put mine off for a while.

Thanks,
Carl.

617 swap in Cache Creek BC

I am running one in Canada. It is doing great. 8k last summer and a few bugs but all is well and doing a few things in the shop this winter. It drives good and perfect power for the toyota. Bit slow in fast highway driving but you are not in a race car. Daniel
