The kit is not listed on the site. You might have to call them for price and availbilty.

get ahold of crash, i think he's still regg'd on this board. his swap is probably the best documented on the net.
best bet would be to use an R151F transmission if you want to keep it all-toyota -- it's the strongest transmission that's been sold in toyota trucks in the states, it came in '86-87 turbo 4x4s. however they're expensive. another good idea is the GM SM465 4 speed, you'd probably never be able to break it.
i know that the NV3500 5 speed might be a good option since you can get them new for about the price of a rebuilt R151F but i'm not sure of the adapter to bolt it to a GM engine. i think novak might make one -- however advance makes an adapter to use a toyota gear driven case behind it.

I beleive he had like 4 or 5 k in it, but it was done right.
Advanced Adapters all the way

HAD is the appropriate word - truck is with it's new owner in San Diego. It's been wheeled more in the last two months than in the previous 5 years.
I had over $4200 into the swap, including a good blueprint/balance ($1200) of the '89 engine because of vibrations. Motor mounts were fab'd, AA parts for engine to tranny (150/151). Exhaust was GM tubular headers modified to clear the frame.
I've done this swap twice - new mounts, repositioning the motor, etc. Crash does it a lot better - he's got some great skills and can fab rings around me.
It's a common swap. Many people are very pleased with the results, some are not. I'll stick w/ Toyota engines from now own - their power band suits my style better.
