Looked into them, not cheap (well not 2 cartons cheap anyway) Would still need adapter. Its going behind a 5.0 liter, not big horsepower I know but I want something I can give a hiding to.

Looked at trying to use one myself, even bought a box & transfer (still have it).
Just way too big to fit it in the tunnel unless you are willing to cut the floor out of the cab and make a new one to suit.

I agree with craz3d, go with an R series box.

Did you have a body lift? Im not too worried about making a new tunnel if I need to.

Any chance you could get some measurements off it?
a) Front of bell housing to front out put shaft
b) Front of bell housing to transfer stick
c) front of bell housing to gearbox stick
d) a hard one, center of output shaft to highest point of gearbox (rough enough is good enough)

Have taken a number of pics with a tape measure for you and posted them here.

Don't have a bellhousing on the box so all mesurements are the box only to where the bellhousing bolts to.

Awesome, thanks for that. Will go and do some measuring, at the moment that is the box that I want to use. Marks Adaptors even said that the R series box is marginal in strength at the best of times.

I don't agree with "Marks" statement, they hold up fine in the Supras and behind 5.0 V8's but each to their own I guess.
