I have never heard of this.

I searched and found it listed on wikipedia, so I edited it and added the correct ratios for USA based Hilux G54 transmissions.

It would be cool to put a W56-A into your truck since that is what an '85 EFI would have come with, but not only are the rare and difficult to find (only made one year), but the G54 would better suit your needs since you would only need to cut one hole if not none at all. On the W, you would need a separate hole for the top shift t/case, but not for the G.

I highly recommend using the W however as it is a stronger transmission, not by much, but it is still stronger.

Couldn't he just switch tail housings to make it a W56-c?
