I am in the process of a VW install in a Toyota truck. I am looking to ask some questions to anyone else who has done a conversion like this. I need some info on some things.

I could also use this info..
I know they had a real production model in europe.. ebay.de might be a good place to find parts..

ACME Adapters.

Do a full kit for Zuki's and have adapter plates for the Toyota 22R tranny. Dunno what else they offer.

EDIT: I meant they do offer a full kit.

search Suzuki and Diesel on yahoo groups too

but what do you want to know? I've sort of done both - a 1.9td to Samurai transmission and a 1.9TDI-M work-in-progress to a Toyota W56 in the same rig.

edit: I'll add this from zuwharrie, too - a toyota vw install.

To vist me you'd have to drive north

I'm not the Toyota guy, I'm the Suzuki with a Toyota tranny guy.

Are you talking about the 2WD hilux which was assembled by VW in Germany out of parts from Japan ? Its all Toyota but was sold through both toyota and VW. The agreement also included 4WD hiluxes assembled in Japan and sold through VW.

sitting in my shop as we speak :

Yup, thats the one I meant. Not sure about post above.

My point being that parts from one of these wont help you connect a VW manufactured engine to a toyota tranny.

Locally there is a flood of low mileage Japanese diesel trucks hitting our streets. Some combination of the Japanese inspection requirements and regulations about diesel is forcing them out of Japan. So I would expect the price of used Toyota diesel engines to drop significantly shortly.
