I wanna do this with a 2uzfe. I have the motor already from a 2006 tundra dblcab sr5. I just got my hands on a R154 trans simply because finding a toyota 6speed V160 is nearly impossible and when I do it's $5-6k used. This project i'm keeping inside the truck because I want to have a manual tundra 4.7liter. I'm gonna get my hands on another 2uzfe or 3urfe from a junkyard and put the 6speed on that. It'll have to be a T56 6speed I guess. Where can I get an adapter plate for that transmission...?
