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

If you haven't grown up by 50, you don't have to.

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.
Cheers,

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...
Cheers,
