Jim,
The
260Z box will bolt up to the L20B. It has good ratios but they are getting old
now and are costly to rebuild to new specs.
The
main disadvantage of them in a 1600 is the length of the extension housing,
which is longer than the original box. You will need to fabricate a
mount.
Boxes
that are the same as stock length, are stanza and MR30 skyline (stumpy skyline
box). These boxes fit without butchering. All the longer boxes have to have
the floorpan cut for the gear lever.
I have
just had a hybrid box made up for my 1600, using a stumpy skyline
casing and output shaft and fitting the 260Z gear set into the stumpy
case.
Parts
were all crack tested and it took 3 X 260Z boxes to get all good parts.
Most gears or coupling sleeves are shot through 30 years of
abuse.
Cheers

Subject: 260z into 1600
Hey all
I was after some advice with regards to putting a 260z gearbox into a 1600.
I have two complete 260z engines sitting in the garage and I thought I might
replace my clanky stanza box with one of these gearboxes. The engine is a
l20b.
My questions are:
Does the box bolt up to the l20b or do I need to play around with
bellhousings? If so pls ellaborate.
Do I have to play around with gearbox mount? If so what do I need to do?
Just use the 260z mount or fabricate?
How about gearbox hole? Any cutting?
thanx heaps for any replies.
cheers
Jim
