I'm in the early stages of installing a 3.4L 5VZ-FE into a 1985 truck/frame
![Cool Guy :cool:](https://board.marlincrawler.com/Smileys/marlin/cool2.gif)
The 1985 truck has fuel tank, lines, brakelines etc. running down the Passenger (left) side My doner truck was a 1998 Taco and everything is opposite. The exhaust is routed down the Passenger side and everything else is on the driver's side including the front propeller shaft. I believe that the best weight distribution should have the fuel tank on passenger side.

(or maybe I should put both tanks in?) In order to match the 3.4 to the 1985 frame configuration I grabed a 3.0L bell to put the Clutch slave back to the right side.

I then discovered all 3.0 R150 trannies, as well as having the throwout lever on the right side, have a shorter inputshaft, bellhousing and a larger OD inputshaft bearing. If the ID of these two different bearings is the same I could take my 95.5+ bearing and put it on a Pre 95.5 input shaft. Problem solved!
