help you research??? i think you know all allready.
Marlin makes what they call a Toybox. Allows mating of the reduction unit of a Hilux gear driven Tcase between the FJ40/55 4 (mebe even 5) speed gearbox and the FJ transfer case. Once can also use a portion of this adapter to mate the Hilux gear driven transfer case to a FJ40/55 gearbox for a center output. Capish? See www.marlincrawler.com. Look at Toybox and do a search under the forums on their site. U don't really have to run a FJ transfer case if you want to use the FJ gearbox in your Hilux.
Thanks to John Douglas http://members.ozemail.com.au/~jonhel5/ I learned that Marks makes an adapter to mate the R150F, and/or R151F (both with 165 mm or 6.5 inch long input shafts) to a G52/54 or W56/W58 bellhousing.
So just take your turbo Supra 7M-GTE block, use a 5M-GE flywheel - clutch assembly - and (W58) bellhousing assembly, this adapter, and mount your trusty R151F to the engine. No more trashed G52/G54 or W56's!
The part number for that adapter plate is MFK 750 cost is $375 (Australian ?) from the Marks factory in Melbourne. It adds 16mm to the length of the drivetrain. I'm waiting on clarification if it requires removal of the input shaft bearing retainer/cover on the R150F/R151F/R452
