Outer Limits 4x4 Board

g'day every one

ive just bought a 350 chev engine and wondering if it will fit in my 90 mdl hilux single cab i still want to keep it manual and dont know if the box will take it is there any other stronger boxes out there that i can use or will mine be fine? also i want to fit 35 inch tyres under it i have a 2" body lift and soon getting a 2" suspension lift will i have to cut any guards? thanks for your reply

if the origional engine in the lux was a 3L then you have a G52 box which are relitively weak (so im told) and according to what i have read on this site, a fair guess is that pushing 35's and a three-fiddy you will chew boxes like a porn star...

you should get a turbo 700 or the likes, or if ya want a manual, tray for a R151 from a supra / V6runner

don't quote me on this tech, this is from what i have read. someone will correct me if i'm wrong, but thats a start.

good luck

yeah man the boxes are weak as shit

pm Guts as he has the lexus 4L whch i amagin would be pushing the same numbers as you 350

A G52 if in good condition to start with will last if you don`t drive like a dickhead. It all comes down to how you drive, you can drive a rig hard but still do it in a way that is easier on the drive train and make parts last. If you do things like drop the clutch when changing gears then yes it will blow up.

As Guts said, if you treat it right a G52 will last (a few mates have been running V8's in front of these boxes for YONKS with no dramas)
I run the R151 behind mine and all is fine.
