Hi All, just bought a 87 bundy with a commodore injected 5 liter in, got it cheap due to blown gear box, had stock g52 box with 1st gear destroyed, can anyone suggest a replacement toyota box that will bolt up to the g52/5L bellhousing and the bundera transfer case and be strong enough for the 5L, don't want to waste time and money puting another g52 in, at this point im leaning towards a th400 or th700 any advice would be appreciated.

the only gearbox that bolts to a g52 bellhousing is... G52.
so your options are wide open - get what ever gearbox you want, if you get a TH you'll need a transfer adapter kit. You can try and find a R151F from a bundera or 105 series diesel if you want to keep it manual - need a bellhousing etc.

no worries thanks, spoke to a gearbox guy and th400 and transfer adapter is the way to go, otherwise like you say everything needs changing.

Have heard of the r151 being ok behind a v8, they are a strong box but you are better off with the auto (strength wise)
Cost a bit more to setup a r series box then th box
