3B diesel to mini truck swap.

[willyota]

Has anybody out there ever done a 3B into a mini truck, using the mini truck W56 transmission. I could use the original cruiser 4 speed, but want to use the 5 speed. If anybody has info or experience that can help, please reply.
Thanks.

I'd think it's too long, too heavy, probably not the best idea.

3b? cummins? deffinantly too tall, just as tall as a 59 cummins, just missin a few cylenders, go toyota deisel

I think he's talking about a landcruiser diesel, which we didn't get here, but I could be wrong.

ok, my bad, i was thinkin of the 4b cummins, seen one swapped into a chevy 3/4 ton, my buddy wants one in his toy, but i want no part of that build, the motor is too dang tall, get a 2lt out of canada, that would be a great motor

The 3b wouldnt be a good swap imo.  Its not very powerful and its quite heavy.  Around 80 hp and 250 tq with a 900lb weight.  They are dead reliable and will run forever though.  A 2.8l diesel from a 2nd gen overseas toyota would be a better swap.

2LT or 2LTE would be the way to go

A 2LT will "bolt up" to a 2LTE engine! (tho the motor mount angle is slightly off so yer best bet is to actually redo the motor mounts)

Sorry yes I mean a Toyota 3B that came in Cruisers in Canada. Have a few doing nothing and wondered if it would work, without using the cruiser trans. Could be done, but major mods to bellhousing etc. And a 3B does weigh about 250lbs more than 22RE. Didn't want to use the cruiser transmission, output flanges way offset to pass. side. Have an L I could use, but no power, will look for a 2L or 2LT. Thanks for the advice.

If you're thinking of a L series, why not consider a 1kzt/1kzte?  A lot more power than a 2lt and more reliable, but the mileage isn't as good though
