This is exactly what I'm dreaming of, although I don't know where the tranny came from. I think it might be from a 4R/Taco? Anyone confirm?

Yep, it's a mini-truck tranny...it is however a typicaly Toyota-esque overbuilt unit. the r150 I thought was behind the 22RE-T or maybe that was the R151, either way they're very strong tranny's although I don't know how they'd hold up to Towing and a 2UZ, heat is a killer no matter what tranny you run so amoem sort of added cooling is absolutely nessescary. The H55 was certainly ment for bigger heavier trucks, but the R150 series has been used behind many many high horse power motors I think even some of Ivan's trucks???

The guy who started the thread said he makes custom bellhousings and flywheels for manual conversions behind Toy/Lex V8s.

I wish I was in a position to do this swap now, I would give him a ring. But that would be putting the cart WAY before the horse.
