Default First steps towards sc400 R154 conversion

So I got the bell housing, flywheel, adapter plate, hydraulic tob, tob "mount?" sc300 clutch pedal assembly and master cylinder for 5 hundys. The flywheel is a modified 01 tundra v6 flywheel. fitted with a spacer and sc400 ring gear. the clutch and pressure plate are off the same car 01 tundra v6. it turns it into a push instead of pull type as you all have obviously noticed. now I just need the trans, and a driveshaft. any ideas on which driveshaft will fit?

tundra stuff will work. the guy I got the stuff from had an aluminum spacer made and cryo'ed the flywheel then heated the ring gear and spacer and compression fit it all together. the problem is the starter wont reach the far enough so you have to make the ring gear sit about 2 inches farther back

edit: just noticed another question. the bellhousing is a sc400 bellhousing

I'm considering this more and more for my '99, which should be the same procedure as this since yours is a '97 and OBD2, correct?

What are you going to do about the CEL?
From what I've read a 10K resistor takes care of that. A few people have done the 98+ OBD2 manual swap in 300's, but no one whose actually done the swap has confirmed that..

No doubt.

For what some people want for an R154 it would be almost cheaper/as cheap to buy a 1JZ+R154 swap off ebay and sell the 1JZ
