Has anyone ever swapped a 3S-GTE into a 89-93 Toyota pickup?

I thought I'd ask you folks if anyone down under has performaed the swap. My major concern is where (in the world) can I find a bellhousing for the stock pickup tranny that will mate to the 3S block.
Any other details, or an e-mail addy of someone who has done a swap like this would be appreciated.

Oops, I expect that would help.
The truck is a 90 2wd model with the 22R motor in it. The transmission is the factory 5 speed.

I would expectn it to be a W5* box? In this case the 1S or 2S bellhousing will bolt up!
The problem with the 1S/2S housing is that it puts the starter under the turbo! There is a place in N/Z that sells these bellhousings modified with the starter on the drivers side! They cost about $200NZ!
But first you really need to figure out what box you have!

I'd say your box is a W5x...
Do a search for "RWD 3S" or something simiilar. This topc has been covered many, many times over...
It's not an easy swap...

Could also be a G52 or an L50. Check the ID plate in the engine bay to be sure.

The 1S/2S bellhousing will bolt onto a W58 box which will then bolt to the 3S-GTE!
But remember that the bellhousing needs shortening!

A W58 box will bolt up to a 3S-GTE using a 1S/2S bellhousing

When you say the bellhousing needs shortening, where is that done, eg front face, cut and shut, rear face?

It just needs a bit machined off! Both ends would be the best in my opinion to keep the strength! I think about 15mm needs to be taken off!

From what I understand, the 2S bellhousing locates the starter right where the turbo assembly sits. That's not a good thing! Someone told me that a company in New Zealand makes a bellhousing that relocates the starter to the intake manifold side. Does anyone know of this company?
Also, I am not familiar with the 2S. What vehicles did it come in? I'm going to need motor mounts, flywheel, and a few other odds and ends from a 2S equipped car, but I have no idea where to source them, since I'm a US fellow. I DO have the capability to import stuff from Japan, or Australia. Anyone have any ideas?

From what I have read in these forums, the company is http://www.fraser.co.nz, I couldn't find anything about the bellhousings, might be worth a call or email.
Did you find out which box you have?

Fraser is the right company to get the bellhousing from! They take the 1S/2S housing and shorten it and also relocate the starter to the inlet side!
Give them a call and speak to Neil!
