Topic: R151F Swap?

[Yota Tony]

I wondering if I can swap an R151F into my truck?

I know that Toyota uses 2 different bell housing bolt patterns for their transmissions. A small 9 bolt pattern and a large 9 bolt pattern. The R151F uses the large bolt pattern.

Now I'm going to assume that my 82 uses the small bolt pattern. So if I swap bell housings will I be able to bolt the R151F up to my 82?
Also will my 82 t-case bolt up to the R151F?

The R151 will bolt up to a 20r, 22r, 22re, 22ret(Turbo which it came with). The large/small pattern you are refering to is bell-housing to trans.

thats what i was thinking....

i was thinking why does it matter what thbellhousign the tranny bolts to, you should be worried about what bell with tranny mates to the engine....

My question was really in regards to to the bell housing bolting to my 82.

Thanks for the answer.

And no your t-case won't work unless you have a 23 spline input in the (front) case.  Turbo trucks have 23 spline output and 23 spline cases.
