SA is a hot spot for 4age tuning and depending on boost this could be running a laggy 350+bhp.

I dont have the space or time to take full advantage of this otherwise I would be really tempted to go and take a look.

Anyone know what gearbox that is?

I think it's a guessing game

Thoughts?

Looks like a celica/supra etc W58 gearbox to me

It's an early non turbo supra w58 gearbox, it's got 2 starter positions so should be a custom bellhousing for the 4age. They'll take 400nm ok so should be fine for that engine, it's similar size to a mt75 so needs a reasonable size tunnel to fit.
I don't think the original car was a completed project (the engine may not have the correct mods for running a turbo and the fittings are all a bit heath robinson), but it's worth the current price for the parts present.

700 is more than the stock NAs go for but les than a BT or ST 20v 4age.

People have run stock small ports with big turbos reasonably trouble free with 250bhp and rumours ,of 500bhp if you can manage the pre det properly. Its a shame it is 450miles away otherwise I would go and take a look and haggle a deal for the engine only.

Thanks for the gearbox ID. You can obviously tell a lot about an engine's power by what gearbox it has got.
