    7MGE would probably be the easiest based on all the info I have gathered. Im looking into this as well and so far have narrowed it down to either 7mge or 3sge. My dilemma is whether to keep my w55 manual trans or not. Apparently both will bolt to my trans with the right bellhousing but the 7m to w58 bellhousing seems to be the more available bellhousing to adapt to a w55. RWD 3sge are usually sold with 6 speed trans basically a jdm Altezza setup but I'm not sure about how the fitment goes when it comes to throwing it in the pickup. 7m has been done many times over so there is a lot more info on the swap. In the end wiring will be the main hurdle especially if you are like me and want all the gauges on your cluster to work.
