there have been many mkiv supra 6pd conversions in the works it seems, but i have available a mkiv shell with an automatic in it. it's a project car i'd like to transplant a 1uz in, i have considered the 6speed, in fact i have one in my daily driver mkiv, but i'd like to keep this auto for a number of reasons, the primary being that i already have virtually all the parts i need to make it work.
has anyone mated the mkiv automatic transmission to the 1uz? i assume the same adapter would need to be made which fits the v160 bellhousing as the bolt pattern and distance must be the same, but i've never examined how the extra 3/4" of space between the tranny and the engine could be dealt with in an auto. does the torque convertor mounting need to be modified? or will it be able to work with relatively little modification?
