i have a 77 sr coupe and wanting to put it a 4agze or 4age in it. just wanted to know if anyone has done it and what it takes. like cutting for a t50 gearbox or w55 which is better also? what crossmembers are needed and any modifications to them. dont worry about the ecu i got that covered. also has anyone here swapped anything in an sr and what did they put in.

i've had 2 with 18rg's. i didn't put them in myself so i don't know what engine mounts were used or anything, but in both cases i was using mid 80's supra/celica steel case 5 spedds and GT corona diffs.

they are a very tight fit leaving no room for air cleners on the sidies.

www.reardrive.co.nz they sell bellhousings for cheaper than 800. think they do a w55 combo too. w55's are way stronger than t50s but you will have to hammer out your tunnel a tad.

reardrive = mega.... juat had a look round his site and saw pics of portions of my '86, thast cunt bought it off me etc...

i've also stripped a 35 4age conversion and put it in my ke25 SR coupe which is tighter fit than a 35. see my website link
