94 sr5 4wd to supra motor?

[Dicipleofthelie]

would it be possible to convert a 94 sr5 with a 22r to a supra engine?

[Butterfingers]

kinda difficult the supra is an I6 im not sure if the engine bay is long enough.

[Dicipleofthelie]

good point....but if it was long enough what would be required to bolt it to the trany?

Depends on which engine you choose

if you choose the 5m series engine, all you need is it's bellhousing and it will bolt up to any G or W series transmission. Seeing that you have a 94, you have the W56 tranny and the engine with it's bellhousing will bolt right up. You can also choose to use it's transmission and mate your transfer case to it.

This ssap is very popular among the truck community.

Another route is to swap in a 7m-ge or 7m-gte. If you want to use your transmission from the truck, either a W or G series transmission, then you must use teh bellhousing from a 5m series engine. Just find a 5m bellhousing off a cressida or another supra and stick it between the 7m and the G or W series transmission.

The original bellhousing behind the 7m fits an R series transmission. This same series of transmissions were used with the v6 and 22rte models. The advantage of an R series transmission is that it is stronger and will not break as often as a G or W series tranny. The downside...

The R series tranny from the v6/22rte model trucks have lower gearing than the simular R series originally mated to the 7m. In the offroad community, this is more desirable. But, the v6/22rte verision R will bolt to the bellhousing of the 7m nor the 5m. A custom made bellhousing is required.

Another issue with this swap is the fact the m series engine is 6 cyl's long compared to the 22r. All swaps do away with the viscus fan and find a very thin radiator and 2 10" electric fans, and then place them in front of the crossmember, just behind the grill.

It is prefered to find a whole supra, or cressida if you choose the 5m route.

This is prefered due to the fact you need the engine bay wiring harness, ECU, MAF, and any thing else the swap would need.

The big advantage to this swap is you do not have driveshaft modifications, you don't need an adapter, it's all factory toyota parts, and it is a cool to say you have a supra powered truck.


just my .02

also have you done a SAS swap, or do you still have IFS. If you still have IFS, I belive you need the oil pan off a 7M, because the 5M oil pan will not clear the IFS.

check out www.pirate4x4.com you will find lots of info there

I think I heard that if you have a solid axle, you need an oil pan from a cressida.. im not sure though

with a sas you dont need to modify the oil pan as you have a lot of clearance the ifs you would need the modify the oil pan as the front diff sits in the center of the truck where as on a solid axel the pumpkin sits off to the passenger side (toyota axel)
