msmile Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hi! Currently thinking of going V8 on my 5speed NA, but couldnt find on forum if theres any possibility to do that with manual, as all 1UZ engines went with auto gearboxes. Any thoughts? Thanks!

fastcar Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Best person to ask might be Paul at garage whiffbitz I'm sure he has recently done this conversion although I think it was with an auto box. But sure he did mention something about being able to put the manual box in with a custom made bell housing adaptor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmile Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Could you guys post the link to any thread about V8 and Manual, please? Maybe im blind, but I could only find V8 and Auto, nothing about manual... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Plenty of Aussies and Yanks running Soarer V8s and SC400s on W58s. Check Club Lexus and the Australian Soarer forums, and Lextreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 There's a company in the US selling conversion parts to suit the 1UZ/W58. I can also get hold of conversion parts to fit the 350Z 6 speed gearbox on a 1UZ, it'll be a bit more involved though. We can do all the work here if needed of course. Thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
