I know that this topic has been done to death but I could not find anything on the topic when i SEARCHED the archives. Has anyone put a 5M or 7M supra motor in front of a 4 speed hilux box, or do you need a 5 speed to bolt straight up to the 5M or 7M
Cheers

5M will bolt to a 4 speed, but the 4 speed definatly wont last long

Thanks Bubs. I was a bit slow ont eh motor anyway It's just been sold. A very cheap 7M-GTE Would have been real nice. But you know what they say.... you snooze, you loose.

7M-GTE cheep, you would wanna hope its good if it was still available, 7Ms had a head gasket problem which is fixed by increasing the torque on the bolts a bit
but the word on the toyota supra type sites, if you get a bad 7M, it will always be a bad 7M

The motor was $400 with a blown head gasket!!!
Anyway, I had planned on doing the commodore and auto swap but when I saw the price of this 7M I couldnt resist the thought of all those ponies. Anyway, back to the commodore plans. Hope to have the motor and box here in the next few weeks so I can get started on it.
Cheers
