So after watching Albert go through so many R154 transmissions and talking to him for the past 45min I've decided that I will be going Getrag v160.

Figured if I do it just to get the car running it could be had for around 5k.

Then later on I can purchase a more stout clutch and possibly rebuild the thing with some marlin crawler goodies

So you want to swap in a v160 and rebuild it with marlin crawler goodies? As if a v160 isn't stout enough..

The way I drive and the power I ultimately wamt its just safer to build it and call it a day.

I haven't forgotten.

Money doesn't scare me.. its not like I would do things over night.

I just dont want to spend money twice or even 3 times or more.

you do not need to build a v160...and the appropriate rear end is 3.13. if you want to do it right then a rear end swap would be necessary.

MC doesnt make v160 upgrades lolololol.

That's about an average price for it. Considering A) It's a Supra motor, B) 2jzgte go for like 2200 from importers, C) V160's pop up from time to time and go for anywhere from 3-7000, brand new is around 10k

haha
