    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Just curious why??

    Myself I never heard of it. You already searched the internet with your favorite search engine with no results?

    A very large Budget will be needed.

    You will be making many one of a kind parts$$$$$$

    Mounting the Toyota Drive train to the engine would be the easy part.

    Starting with 2 Brand new bell housings make them into one .

    You would need to figure out the length needed and just how your going to transmit the power
    to the transmission . Can a K-24 flywheel be modified to take the R150F clutch?

    Does the clutch and fly wheel help balance the engine??

    Welcome to TW!

    As far as adapters go anything for a K series to Toyota W series manual transmission doesn't exist and will need to be custom made.

    If you're dead set on a K engine your best bet for off the shelf parts would be to run the K series with an adapter to a GM auto transmission + transfer case.

    Might be cheaper to use a Honda transmission and custom fab an adapter for the transfer case.

    A Turbo K20/24 Frankenstein would be all the motor your Taco would ever need. I'd love to see that.

    I'm possibly... ... :bananadead:... ... :duh:... Going to drop an NA K20/24 Frankenstein in my 2003 Miata. Would be SICK!!!

    Honda makes the best motors. I believe a k24 on stock internals is capable of managing over 1000hp. So, bulletproof at 300hp.

    Yup, messed with D,B and K series back in the day. I’ll aim for 380-400 hp.
