				Use the R151, R154, or R150 box out of the various turbo hilux/surf and V6 4runner's.
Will bolt up using the Marks adapter and i am led to believe, identical insides to the marks box, source is ozrunner.

				Get hold of an R series box out of a Surf or a 4 Runner and the tailshafts will bolt up (not sure on length though)
The R series is a strong box for sure.
I think the R154 (Supra box) has a longer input shaft.

				yeah well i might  give  those  a go  once  my standard  5 speed  from the 2.4  packs  it  in again it would have to be cheaper than  buying  one  of those  dyna gearboxes for $2500 
cheers

Depends on wether or not the Dyna's are stronger than the R series, you would hope so, but even if they are the same it's a good price for a recoed unit.

Marks box basically has a new outer casing that is stronger.
