I'm trying to retain the V6's t5 gearbox but it involves quite a bit of engine bay work.
Pete, I was referring to something like an early 80's Toyota 5M-GE twin cam straight six found in Supra, Cressida and Crowns. They were injected however I'm sure a triple manifold of some sort could be sourced. There would be minimal pollution controls and you could use the strong Supra 5sp box without adapting. Food for thought

Nice cantered valve covers give a real exotic look that suits the body style
