Or am I wrong? I find 4.3/5.7 to toy adapters but no ford.
It will be like the clouds parting for a huge ray of sunshine, blasting down on you. no more herky jerky or running out of gear too soon.I've never wheeled an auto. Not opposed just never owned one
never seen a 302 to R series adapter. NWOR used to make a 302 to W56 adapter, but that's a ridiculous combo, IMHO.Been to that sight. I was talking about a 302 in front of a R151F that I already have.
That's weird. I was on there earlier and i swear they suggested using a Ford trans.

Change the input on the r series and it works with toyota.
Neither will work with an r151f. Ax15 has a longer input and the r151f has a different tooth count due to the 4.31:1 first vs ax15/3.83:1 first gear.
This about all that's out there. Keep in mind this is in Aussie dollars not US.
No idea but it's a 30mm difference in input shaft length.Swap input. 1st gear isn't integral to the input. How else did people do 4.31 1st in a ax15 for jeeps
you should totally get an auto.... and sell me that r151fBeen to that sight. I was talking about a 302 in front of a R151F that I already have.

I had way more fun in auto buggys than i ever had in a anemic 190:1 manual toyota. But we all have to learn and evolve dont we?And.... be boring as hell to drive.
The torque converter basically doubles the crawl ratio. A buddy had a buggy with 7.17s in the axles, stock geared Dana 300 and a 4.3 Chevy and th400. That is shit for a crawl ratio but it was pretty damned solid in all situations. Didn't need more reduction and high range was perfect for blasting fire roads.My brain doesn't grasp needing less crawl ratio with an auto vs a manual. I effing loved my 221:1 in my ftoy. Current rig only has 109:1 and I find myself in plenty of situations where I wish had the 221 again. I guess if ever had seat time in an auto I might get it.
Three weeks ago on Fordyce I watched a guy with a LS powered/NV4500 IH Scout hit winch hill 0.5 right side line and try at it for 5-10 min before giving up and backing out. Then his buddy pulled up in a nearly identical rig but with a 4L80E. He tried for about 5-10 minutes and smoked the trans. Lost reverse. We had to pull him down off WH0.5 and he had to drive out with forward gears only. Never heard the damage report, but am guessing it had to do with oil starvation at that angle? Interesting to see two nearly identical rigs do the same thing and one blow the auto.
They both have their place.
I’d put a gear reduction in my T-case if you could still get 3.5s…someone needs to come out with another 4:1ish gear set for toyotas. Would be a better all around gear and maybe help the cases not explode when getting beat on.

its goofy with the 4cyl. i personally think the axles need to be geared to match factory rpm with what ever tire size you run. if i recall my 7.17 with 42s was damn near spot on math wise and i could run high side. only around the yard but could do it. and then the 3.8 in auto would about be perfect in every situation . maybe have the doubler for the wow factor. but its a combo of gearing. axles and tcase. not just one. at least how i feel anyhow.
You realize autos outnber manuals on the trail by a fair margin these days? Lots of them out there without issues. Just because one guy has a poor setup shouldn't reflect on all autos, just like one guy in a toyota with stock gearing and 37s smoking his clutch on every rock doesn't mean all manuals suck.
I've only had manuals in my true crawlers, buy have done some wheelin autos and am ready to have an auto crawler. Im not totally sold on them with a low power engine, but am probably going to give it a shot anyway.
As far as ratio, I've always felt the 200:1+ was too slow on rocks. 140-160:1 was always plenty. And in fact I just did rubicon and Fordyce in my heavyish family rig with a 22re mostly in 2nd at around 85:1. It was decent enough that I'd probably be totally OK if that was as low as I had, or maybe just a hair lower.

Agree, when I had my tired 22re/a340/Atlas 4.3, low was used mainly and high range was all about unusable. . After I swapped in the 2rz turbo, high range was actually usable and fairly fast..I'd be weary of a single low range with the 4cyl and auto. Just because I like an in between obstacles or snow.
I feel like the 2.7/2/5.4 doubler would be perfect.
