In the UK what manual gearboxes are available at sensible cost to fit the 1UZ-FE V8 engine?

Don't mind 5 or 6 speed and it only needs to handle 300-350hp in a 1500kg car. I'm not trying to set any records.


Really looking for something that is possible to find without needing to employ Sherlock Holmes and isn't going to break Fort Knox to purchase.

Evidently looking for all the bits I'd need, including bellhousing, flywheel (??) and clutch assey.

Thanks.

Most obvious one that kits will be available for is the R-154 5spd turbo box.

Only problem being people know what they are worth these days.

Back 10 years ago when I started using them, I was buying them for £50 lol

be best checking either the Supra forum or Lextreme. Some of the other Toyota boxes may fit.
The R-154 will require a bellhousing though. Not sure if there are any direct bolt on options
Is that MK3 Supra's or only MK4's?
