The answer to the Toyota box conversion is YES. The conversion bellhousing's
are available from a source in New Zealand as a friend obtained one for me for
my race 'B'. Unfortunately I never got round to fitting it as the
classification rules changed and made such a conversion illegal - but I still
have the bits somewhere in my store. The intention was to mate this
bellhousing with a Toyota Supra 5 Speed box which would cope with all the
power the B could throw at it, and provide synchro on all gears. The other mod
required is a shortened propshaft and presumably alterations to the rear
gearbox support bracket.
Iunderstand that these conversions are in use on a number of 'B ' racers in
New Zealand. Any 'Net' users down there able to fill in furter details
including the name of the supplier?
