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!

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!





If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.
