Engine is here. Still missing a few parts and accessories but nothing that can't be found in a scrapyard or a dealership.
Regarding the transmission, I found out Vorshlag makes a bolt on LS T56 and it would be perfect for what I'm doing with some modification. However it's out of my budget. So the stock transmission will do for now, just need an adapter plate. I have a South Bend clutch on it rated for 400TQ. I'll do my best to keep my foot out of it and de-tune it a bit so the transmission doesn't shatter but that's for later.
I also contacted AGT Engineering in Australia regarding their CAN BUS translator. They told me it should, I just need to know which signal comes from where.

It was made by a transmission shop in the Netherlands. Be careful twincharging the 3UR, don't go more than 8-10 psi or over 550HP. That's their breaking point. I got away with 560WHP for a year before blowing a head gasket. Forged internals are easily found now so don't cheap out or you'll lose a block.

You could call me a Toyota fanboy or a purist lol. I also have a TRD supercharger laying around and 6 years of experience with this engine. Most will say these have low aftermarket support but I know where to get anything I need to make this work.
