Topic: looking for east coast wheelers

[jvministries]

I am looking for wheeling pages for sites like this one on the east coast all these pages are excellent and great but if I buy a part I have to have it shipped across country. I would like any information available
my email address is toyparts@jvmin.org.

 any links or pages would be great and

hopefully I will be able to find some wheelers in my area who are willing to get their rigs dirty or oops maybe even dented.

would love to find a trading page on my end of the earth where I can post and swap and trade near me so as to avoid all the shipping charges and maybe even meet some wheelers

So what trans do you need, and where are you?

[jvministries [OP]]

I am searching for a toyota turbo transmission to swap into my toyota truck with a buick V6
I have already done the switch and have ripped out three of the original transmissions G52 type I need a r151f or I am going to have to switch it all over again to a automatic from a chev. want to keep the straight drive if at all possible. because I like the wheeling advantage it gives me. a little more control. anyway I have a buick 4.1 v6 fourbarrel version from a buick regal 4 door passenger car. actually got it by mistake but that is what it is.
but like I said  I have ripped three trans missions out with it. Marlin told me the R151f would hold up since it was a stronger transmission. and I could keep the five speed my only other choice is to buy a new adapter and change over to an automatic or other type of manual but at the time of ordering these options were not available except for the automatic gm th350 or 700r.
If you know of any other combos that will work that's fine but I already have the adapters for the stock transmission and the only one I know of that will work with this adapter is the turbo transmission. some one suggested the r10 from a v6 but it isn't the same bolt pattern as the turbo or g52 is it? any way I live in NC just out of Charlotte and am in search of the elusive to say the least toyota turbo transmission from a 86-87 turbo manual truck

They have a BB with a forsale and wanted section. I see all sorts of stuff go through there. Good luck.

I'll sell you my whole truck for $1500. The 87 Turbo, not 4runner

five speed or not and how thrashed is it

[Paul_Elbisser]

not that bad of shape. mostly cosmetic once you do a SAS on it. I got the axle, just waiting for the time to do it.


Yes its a R151F

 But then again I do have 4 vehicles in my drive

Eastham MA here, try www.neow.org for North Eastern Wheelers.

There are several excellent clubs in NC. I live in Gastonia, NC and wheel a lot. I am a member of the Carolina Trailblazers.

Connecticut here.  Lots more choices out in Colorado, where I got the truck... Around here I've been kicked out of just about every trail.  Motorized Vehicle trails in Connecticut are strictly the domain of ATV and dirtbike.

I'm a criminal everytime I put in 4WD.

did you find your trans yet?
Frydaddy has a R151F without a Tcase. Not sure of the shape, but he will sell. all the minis he has are doing Supra Swaps. I wonder where they got that idea

[jvministries [OP]]

sorry about the slow reply

I got a tranny and conversion plate and all

thanks for asking does the guy still have a r151f

I may still be interested in one since I have another 3.8 just sitting at my brothers
and found a toy sitting with a blown engine would make a great project
