Gearbox/Clutch Questions

Hi all,

I have bought a new 235 cube red motor for my FC, which comes with a fully balanced bottom end complete with clutch, etc. This engine came out of a Torana with an M20 gearbox. My FC has a Toyota Crown four-speed. The engine hasn't arrived as yet ... will this just be a bolt in application, or willl I need to change the clutch and/or any other bits? Gearboxes/clutches aren't my expertise...

Kind regards,

Josh

Thanks Mark. I was worried it would be an expensive change...

You might also have to change the spigot bush(small brass bush inside the rear of the crank) if the Toyota box has a different shaft size to the M20.

Thanks Pedro.

Where is the best place to get the stuff that I may need? Like I said before, gearboxes and the like are very new to me.

Hi all,

Another simplistic question... (maybe),

Are there any easy ways to identify what kind of gearbox I have? I was always under the impression that it was a Toyota 'box, but I could be wrong...
