Ive got a 1990 Toyota Hilux Surf id love to drop a Cummins into. Only snag ive come across is adapting the engine to the factory R150 transmission which is similar to the Jeep Ax15 but depth on the housing is way different so wont work. Id have to machine my own but dont have a lathe or mill 😢 one day. The factory 2L-T diesel is awesome but just dont pack a punch like a Cummins.

I have an r2.8 in an 85 4runner using the quick draw bellhousing to an r151f and dual gear driven cases. It required raising the trans tunnel a little bit and used a tcases cross member from front range off road. No body lift, 2.5" suspension lift. It can fit. I'm still using the stock shift bezel and center console, it looks factory but with some extra sticks.

This is what they cancelled dirt everyday for? No offence to the hosts but it's pretty clear this is more for the pavement pounders than dirt under the fingernails off roaders
