bugger

 

oh well thanx anyway erroll. One of the engine packges was rebuilt only a few years ago. It is just my brother has put an rb30 in his 260z and no longer needs the engine, box etc. Plus he has another package from another zed. Seems a shame to waste them.

Jim,

The 260Z box will bol! t up to the L20B. It has good ratios but they are getting old now and are costly to rebuild to new specs.

 

< F! ONT face=Arial color=#3366ff size=2>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.
