    Default Other manuals that will bolt to a black 308?

    I know the aussie 4 speed is a sure hit when doing an auto - manual conversion... but wat other manual transmissions can bolt to the black turbo pattern V8?

    I am getting a new one to replaced my shagged T400 and REALLY want a manual and wouldnt mind a 5 speed. Also this motor was pulling 350hp at the wheels so it has to be aeasonable tough trans.

    Cheers fellas

    T5 out of a EFI V8 will bolt straight up.

    Tremec T5 or the Borgwarner T5 5 speed boxes both will the are my prefered box mechanically eash fit.
    No when looking for a gearbox dont forget the same boxes were used in F0rds of the same era just a belhousing swap and your in business.

    Else
    Supra 5 speed

    cheers

    Spot on, and an Aussie will not bolt on, it being an aussie/tri pattern IIRC and well the TH box being a turbo pattern.

    In that case, will a T5 bolt onto a Trimatic pattern block? Or do I need an adaptor of sorts?

    You could use an adapter but better off getting a trimatic bellhousing.
