BT50............ while the vk is rebuilt
Not really. Had some problems with the bolts that i use first up, but change them to a more appropriate type with spring washers and all was good.:dance:

Yeah you could make it shorter, that just how it turned out.:)

i believe the falcon t5 has a shorted input shaft and hense needs a custom bellhousing, but aside from that it should work.

celica for a v8 is really not strong enough ... supra should be fine though, as far as nice boxes go, i can't go past the surpa/celica ... i have a celica 5 speed in the torry and my mate used to have a supra, and they just shift so much nicer than another box i've driven, and thats even compared to the 6 speed in my v6 vz ute!

strength wise i don't think theres much difference between the t5 and supra, so it probably come down to which is the easiest to get and install.

The Falcon T5 does have a shorter input shaft but CRS do a bellhousing for it.

We are running one behind a blown 355 stroker and it holds up just fine, there were a couple of minor mods done tot he box to make it hold up.

As for the shifter, I prefer the shifter back further int he car anyway as it is easier to reach.

cheers
