Wait... school? What kind of books are you chewing on now? I am looking forward to how you "upgrade" this rig. I think running with @the_white_shadow is making you upgrade faster than you planned. I cannot say that I blame you.

I had a Buick V6 in my old 82 Yota (231 with Edelbrock intake/cam.. Holley 390 4 barrel, chrome headers, 9.5:1 compression.. made maybe 225 horse. As much $$ as I had in that damn thing I should have done a small block... more power and less money.

Well I Picked up an A340F yesterday. I guess the auto swap will happen sooner than expected.
I have the bell housing, TC and flexplate from a 22re that I picked up a while back.
Now the expensive part starts.

Curious, how are you planning to control the trans? I didn't think the 22re comp would work with any of the newer autos

Trans will be manually controlled with a RAD Designs Rail II shifter. I don't have to modify the harness at all. Pretty neat unit for $100.00.

Rock Floor Shifter
The Transmission controller:
Baja Controller
The adapter for the Atlas:
50-5710 : Toyota Tacoma Tranmission to Atlas transfer case Adapter Kit (23 spline) | Advance Adapters
The new TC: (Still figuring out if i want the 3.8/4.3/or 5.0 low range)

Is keeping the stock transfer case an option? An auto swap is something in going to have to do (or get a knee replacement) but I have no interest in spending a shut load of money on an Atlas.
There are about to be some serious upgrades to this truck!

You can definitely swap an auto in and use the toy cases. Inchworm makes an adapter for 21 and 23 spine TC inputs.
That is what I had planned on doing once I get to that point.

Cool as all that is I just can't see spending all that on a 22re. Autos are nice but they soak up power, power that the 22re just doesn't have to spare
That is why I would do the 3.4/ auto at the same time.

You should have traded me your setup for my 3rz auto swap. I cant wait to see what all you do to this version of red
