Is there a manual gearbox which will fir these engines??

For that price I would bloody make one!

Complete cars go for £400-500 (easy) with no MOT, or £800 for completely roadworthy ones - would be far more tempted to get a complete LS400 for that money as it'll come with all ancilliaries, wiring loom etc.

And I believe you can make the Supra boxes (probably the most indestructable stock gearbox in the world) to fit.

Make sure you get a pre1995 one for emissions!

Google a firm called Thor they make the bits but not cheap.

No manual gearbox will mate straight up, you need a new flywheel and an adaptor plate. You're not gonna be looking at much change from £500 in all probability!

when i was at the roling road on monday there was a drift car there with that motor in it. it had a 3.0 litre toyota supra manual box with custom bell housing. it sounded sweet!
