My worry would be how far back the shifter is.... I think my elbow would hit the rear firewall behind the seats when going for 2nd or 4th gears! I wonder if you can relocate it? |
Just wondering where you got that info? I rang the Castlemaine rod shop, they said they didnt have a bell houseing for an LS1 to Supra gearbox, and said they wouldnt as that gearbox was really only good for 250hp? I was looking at this adaption myself as im fittling the LS1 into a 1970 capri. I have the standard auto 4 speed box, but would prefer a manual. although i have got a trans controller, that will allow full manual shift, so i could fit a paddle shift on the steering wheel. i guess my main issue is the size of the box, and i will have to cut the tunnel to fit it in. any ideas?
