just curious to know if anybody is sucessfully running a r154 to a narrow block?

im planning on running one with a billhousing and was wondering if anybody could share any tips or anything that could make this swap easier?

is there any difficulty as far as making the speedo work with this tranny?

I was searching the Marlin Crawler website and found something that looks like it will greatly help those wanting to use electronic speedometers when completing a Toyota tranny swap. Check out the VSS at the very bottom of this link.
