Dont mean to thread jack Abner, but since you and a few others seem curious, here is a little info. LMK if u want me to delete this post...
It would take quite a while to explain everything, but I will copy paste this to give you a head start... I do NOT take credit for this, as I simply copy pasted it!
1990 Toyota Supra turbo 5spd
There's your Rear Wheel Drive kit.
87-92 Supra Turbo 5-speed and yoke
94-95 Dakota 2.5L bellhousing, throwout bearing, slave cylinder and fork
94-99 AX-15 Front bearing cover
You'll need a 21 spline clutch disk. Might be able to match up one from a Toyota V6 truck.

the 03-04 Liberty 2.4L bellhousing and the Toyota R154. Best gear ratio's and it can all be put together from junkyard parts.

The Jeep/Dodge AX15 5-speed, the Jeep NV3550 5-speed and the 87-92 Toyota Supra Turbo R154 5-speed all share the same case to bellhousing bolt pattern. As such there are a number of possibilities that can be had when a 5-speed is desired:
94-95 Dakota 2.5L bellhousing: Connects R154 to any K car based 2.2L-2.5L L4 in a RWD application.
94-99 Dakota 3.9L V6 Bellhousing: Connects R154 to any 3.9L V6 and any 273/318/340/360 V8.
96-99 Dakota 2.5L bellhousing: Connects R154 to any Jeep 2.5L L4. Because of it's GM inherited bolt pattern, also works with any Buick FWD V6 and supercharged V6, any Chevrolet 2.8/3.1/3.4 V6, any Cadillac 4.1/4.5/4.9 V8 and with a minor modification, any Olds Aurora DOHC V8 and Cadillac DOHC Northstar V8.
88-99 Jeep 4.0L L6 bellhousing: Connects R154 to any AMC 290/304/343/360/390/401 V8 and any 72 and later 232 L6 and 258 L6.
01-03 Jeep Liberty 3.7L V6 bellhousing: Connects R154 to any 3.7L V6, 4.7L V8 and 5.7L Hemi V8.
R154 RatioÂ’s
1st 3.30:1
2nd 1.95:1
3rd 1.34:1
4th 1.00:1
5th 0.75:1
Rev 3.20:1
The R154 is a particularly robust transmission. It shares it's design with the AX15 but is built to a different spec. Not in the Tremec class, but better than a T5. It would work well in certain applications. The deciding factor to use something like this would probably be cost. Good used R154's can be had for about $300 and bellhousing for about $50. Converting to a hydraulic clutch would add a bit more expense but still, nowhere near the price of a Tremec. So, if you've got a 318 2 barrel in your daily driver, this might be for you. It should be pointed out that Australians LOVE these gearboxes for V8 conversions.
So, this is what CAN be done with stock, boneyard parts. Enjoy.

There are actually two different bells for the 2.2\2.5. Left is the A535, Right is the AX15. The AX15 bell is the correct one for this swap.
