I looked into this as well and found that no one makes an adaptor for these engines
. I have, however, pondered the idea
of using a 700r4 trans from an early S-10 4x4 which had a 2.8 60* V6 and since the 700r4 is adaptable to the toyota t-case the adapting ends there. The only thing is I couldn't be sure the bolt patterns are the same
. I was going to borrow a trans case from a friend of mine that owns a trans shop and see what it would take to do the conversion
. I do know that the FWD transmissons had bolts holes in there bell housings that were threaded so you may have to get creative with the mating of the engine and trans. Sure it would be nice to keep the manual but also consider
the electronics already being programmed for an OD auto trans. Good luck with this and hope you come up with some good info if you do this before I get to. Just been too busy
with other stuff lately and it's been in storage as well, so I haven't bothered with that project in quite a while. would love to hear what you come up with
.
