EdMorris Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Glad you're doing this. Its something I've also thought of attempting. Have an engine already, just umming and erring about what is actually involved in getting it fitted and working. Will be watching with great interest.

Chris Wilson Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Do you mind me asking where you sourced the T56 and how much it was? is it a straight cut dog box, or is it synchro? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxv8 Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 its syncro still chris,its from http://www.keislerauto.com/home.html ...cost was roughly 1700.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Nice. What's the weight of that thing compared to the 2JZ, lighter? Weight should sit a bit further back too which is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any decision on the diff and prop yet? Are you sticking with the Toyota diff (presumably LSD manual one) i am going to use the stock rear diff set up and if needed change to a tt rear end which should be more than capable...
