TexasComputerMan Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I would like to find a SC300, manual transmission with a blown engine. I would like to rebuild it but put in a SC400 engine. Hummmm! A SC400 with a manual transmission. What do you all think??? :chairshot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A SC400 with a manual transmission.What do you all think??? :chairshot: ← Many problems: 1) SC400 engine does not fit into SC300 body, engine mounts are very different. 2) 5-spd transmission does not bolt up to the SC400 engine AT ALL, there is no way to do it without heavy modification and I don't think there have been ANY reported people doing this. 3) SC300 engines just don't blow....so good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the idea of a SC400 with a 5 speed manual transmission is a interesting idea. How about putting a Lexus/Toyota 5 speed manual into a SC400?

don_juan_miami Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 good luck bro, whatever it costs you to mod a tranny to fit the 400 engine, you could prob find a used 2jz block and do some work to it. The 5spd standard tranny is good for about 350 hp, maybe 400 if you dont have a lead foot..... eh scratch that... about 350 hp, and judging from what you want out of the car, that should be plenty... juancho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
