WTB: Gearbox suit VR4 into starion

[ja_4g63_vr4]

i am building a starion and i need a gearbox to go onto my VR4 engine.
i need everything including gearbox, bell housing, clutch, and if needed an adaptor plate.
i will consider anything but i have heard
-a supra box with adaptor plate can be used.
-a sigma gearbox and clutch, bellhousing etc can be used.

please if you have anything let me know.

cheers
Alex.

the 4g63 L200 utes gearboxes will bolt up (i've got a mate with a vr4 engine in his 85 L200) and apparently (a rumour, can't confirm) the later model starions with the 12 valve motors had the wider bellhousing pattern as well.

i know some of the L200 gearboxes were cable, not sure if all of them were,

hope it helps, should be a lethal conversion

cheers

Later model 12 valve starions had the narrower block, yeap, ive seen one first hand. Not sure if its the same as a vr4 however, finding a gearbox from a 12 valve starion would be a P.I.T.A. tho.

There is a huge thread on this somewhere just do a search. Yes there is a Mitsubishi gearbox that will fit but the extention housing (the bit that has the gearstick) is shorter than the Starion so the gearstick will come up through the stereo! It has also been discussed about just changing the extension housing. There were issues from memory.


Like I said do a search it's all been discussed before.
