Topic: Ford 302 vs. Toyota R151 Turbo tranny/t-case

[DN1911]

just wondering what everyone thought of putting the R151 behind a mild 302 small block Ford? i like the idea of the swap just don't want to always be wondering when it will blow?

[79coyotefrg]

it will be just fine  behind a 5.0

does anyone know if it is even possible to put the R151 behind a SB Ford? advanced adapters said no but i wasn't sure?

[kneedownnate]

Sure, you just need to contact mammoth engineering down in florida

i believe nwor has an adapter for it

it says they have one for r and g code transmissions with a removable bellhousing



hell yeah i would run it with a 302!

they also have the motor mounts and the headers

ok can u explain

I've never ordered anything from NWOR before either but they don't mfr anything, they just re-sell.  I know they've been around forever though.  I still have some of their catalogs from 15 years ago.

DN1911, Mammoth Engineering refers to our very special Mr Willy Mammoth. Check out his build...

Warning!!!! It's not for the faint of heart. The man is a genius.

I wouldn't hesitate to put an r151 behind a 302. 

I've heard good and bad from NWOR, so purchase at your own risk.  Doesn't inchworm sell adapters for that kind of thing? 

I'm surprised AA doesn't

[DN1911 [OP]]

i am going to have to look into these options. right know i can't make up my mind what i want to do. i have all the parts for a turbo 22RE build but a lot of stuff would have to be replaced or upgraded. i also like the idea of a 3RZ or the 302. all would be about the same cost so i'm not sure.

[bigarms23]

the 2.7 motor is a good option weight wise thats just my opinion

[DN1911 [OP]]

yea that has been my thought all along. the turbo build is out the window, i have someone coming to get the longblock this weekend
