AWD R154?

[CanadianPaul]

Hey all,

I was having a theoretical conversation with a friend about a 2WD pick up rally X build.
Knowing how good Marlin is with transmissions (we race on one of his 2WD transmissions in the desert) and not wanting to bother calling the store with a pest question.

Can a R154 transmission be put in front of a AWD transfer case behind a 2JZ?
Now I am talking ALL WHEEL DRIVE, Not a 4WD 2 speed transfer case.
I am sure it is not a simple bolt on swap but can it be achieved with some fabrication and magic Marlin dust?

Based on where the shifter is positioned with a 2wd trans, it wont work, you will need to use a 4wd trans like a R151 or R150, could use a W series, but may not handle the torque.  There are bell housings available for the conversion, then you would only have the issue of bolting up to the AWD t-case.  With the 4x4 trans, it could possibly give you the ability to use the  4wd lever to have RWD and AWD options. 

The other option would be to use a R150 trans and t-case from a 3.4 Taco, that is if the 4wd t-case will work well enough or last long enough used in autoX.

I have the definitive answer for you. Toyota made an extremely rare car sold only in Japan called the Toyota Alteza Gita which was AWD and came with a 2JZ-ge. There is a front clip available on ebay for $3800.

how cool would that be. In my mind that could make for the absolute coolest set-up! you could blow off skylines!
