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.
