I know this swap is possible & has been done, I met a guy named Ben who worked at Roseville Toyota a few years back, he swapped a 4.7 into his 94 pickup, I rode in the truck & its badass! He bought the bellhousing kit from Australia, he also did all the engine wiring himself. He told me he beat on it pretty hard & all the axles/tranny, etc were all holding up to the abuse! I would personally love to have that motor in my Runner, anyone know if Offroad solutions has a harness for the 4.7?

offroad solutions is out of business! I am sure the wiring is very similar to the 3rz & 5vz-fe swaps which is really quite simple.... I have been looking into the stuff and still debating weather I want to do the swap or just stick to the 5vz....

what's your point? I was just stating something that you had already said b/c I didn't click on the 2nd page. Get over yourself. Now, back on topic. Yes, you can put an R150 behind a 1UZ, 2UZ, or 3UZ. In theory you could take an auto bellhousing, cut the mounting flange(engine side) off and take an R150 bellhousing and cut the mounting flange(engine side) off and marry the auto flange w/ the 5spd bellhousing. Of course, you'd wanna make sure your input length was correct. Sounds like it'd be easier to get some parts from Australia though... but you'll probably wait for a while.

Try hittin up the guys over at uzswap.com. They might have some good tricks or be able to tell you which tranny is compatible.

ORS went out of business but I will soon have wiring harnesses up for sale for the 3rz, 5vz and 1&2uz motors.... I am trying to source the connectors to build them now...

Marlin is probably talking to big mike about figuring up what would have to be done to a gearbox to strengthen it up to make it handle the output of the v-8, and oh, yeah, what would be the most likely candidate for a tranny, and can I make a bellhousing to mate them, and what flywheel...

Marlin and Big Mike: the design demons!

Guys I can assure you that the R tranny that Marlin builds will handle the V8 power. These things are good for about 799-800 HP and a tone of torque.

too bad I would never buy a marlin tranny!!! I have heard of way too many people who have troubles with them and I know its a pain in the ass to get them fixed and you have to R&R it yourself with no reimbursement if there is an issue! I will pass on that and build my own trans

kneedownnate · « **Reply #45 on:** Apr 10, 2009, 10:50:26 PM »

Really? I've honestly only heard of a couple people with issues with a marlin tranny. I'd definately be interested in seeing info on more people with issues!

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #46 on:** Apr 11, 2009, 04:58:47 AM »

just search! I am not one to try and knock their parts I just prefer to build my own then if there are any issues its my own fault...

kneedownnate · « **Reply #47 on:** Apr 11, 2009, 01:05:05 PM »

No thanks, you're the one saying way too many people had troubles with them, you provide the links to back your statement

Are you looney, what do you mean, its hard to get them serviced. How many other people in the world do you know that would drive to your house regardless of where in the US you live just to fix something thats bad on your tranny. Anyother company would have told your ass to ship it back to them. Which would cost you money. Not Marlin this man will drive to your house to fix it. He did for me and I personally know of about 4 others when something broke or went wrong that he himself drove out to there place to fix.

And if you think that you can build a better tranny than that man, one: you're on crack and two: then you better open your own shop, cause if you can then you're not of this world.

I back Marlin all the way and there is a dam good reason for it.

alright dude whatever! I never said I can build a tranny better than marlin you need to learn to read!! as I said before lets get back on topic.... I just stated that I would not buy one and thats it... you ranting on will not make me change my mind I am the kind of guy who likes to build my own

so just deal with it I see from your sig you have plenty of money to buy all the expensive goodies and thats cool if thats what you like to do! so until someone has some good info regarding the swap this thread is about how about you just shut up!

after my 3rd 22r in my little rig i decided to do a motor swap and knew i wasnt going to a chevy motor ...

i wanted v-8 power and didnt want to do any firewall mods and make it a close to bolt in as possible .so i chose a 92 bronco 351 windsor for my new donor and with NWOR's bellhousing and motor mounts it was pretty much all bolt in it uses NWOR's motor mounts wich bolted to stock frame motor mount and is adjustable for better alignment ..

being a ford motor distributor is up front so no firewall beating was needed .. but it did come from a bronco and the stock brackets were too low and wide so i used march performance brackets wich kept my steering pump and alternator up high and tight out of harms way and most important off my frame rails and my steering box i just hung for my highsteer ..
the only major issue i had was exhaust manifold for the pass side and after some research from the ford ranger guys doing v-8 swaps into thier little trucks i found that a 1970's ford comet with a 289 or a mercury wich are also windsor motors used a tight block hugging manifold that went straight back clearing frame and cab nicely and it was 25 bucks off ebay ...

i also did a hei conversion distributor wich made it a 1 wire operation .. so im still able to use my stock 5spd .tcase and drivelines in stock locations and crossmember .. made things easier and cheaper ..

it runs great with a 53lbs flywheel and a small rv cam it just lugs along nicely ..and power is definately there when needed ..

here is the truck on its second big run since motor swap ..

THK Matt · « **Reply #57 on:** Apr 24, 2009, 11:36:13 AM »

price list on the swap please?

email me at ToyRunner.3WM@hotmail.com

wayne_l · « **Reply #58 on:** Apr 27, 2009, 09:54:02 PM »

the motor for the swap i paid 800 forthe whole bronco then sold the tranny /tcase and top and made that back ..

i bought the bell housing, flywheel,centerforce clutch , motor mounts ,slave cyl and all the hardware from NWOR they are the only ones i know who make a yota to ford adapter ..

with everything i needed to do the swap shipped to alaska was 1500

it took longer to get the motor machined than to do the swap .

wow haha guys are arguing like little kids up there hahaha. anyways i really like the windsor. that thing is sa weet. Since i am an owner of an 02 sr5 tundra i am very interested in this. My truck has gobs of power. It has no problem breaking my 275's loose in any condition. both tires and it is bone stock with 3 inch lift in the front and tires. I know that there are a select few 6 cyl 5 speed tundra's out there but no where i have looked. there has to be a out of state or country company that makes conversion stuff for this. I think you will be seeing stuff for these coming up in the next year. an all aluminum fuel injected v8??? who wouldnt want it
