HI all

Not sure where the best place to post this so ill try here first.
I have recently been given a 3sge engine and am interested in using it in my kitcar, but i am unsure of which gearboxes i can use. At present i have a 4age engine in the car using a T50 box does anyone know if this box fits the 3sge engine and if anyone has any other ideas of boxes

Thanks

t50 does not fit a G motor... you will need the trans from an altezza.... or you can find a bellhousing to use a W or T series on that motor, but typically those aren't inexpensive....

You can use the bellhousing from an Australian TA or SA Celica and a W58 transmission. I'm sure it also fits other trannies but that's all I know off the top of my head. Also, the 4Y-powered vans are supposed to have a compatible bellhousing (might need slight modification but it'll probably be the easiest available option).

What type of kitcar do you have?

thanks for the replys, i think im now going to stay with the 4age engine and sell the 3sge (or my dad might have it) and use the money to upgrade my engine.

The car is a Stuart taylor Locorage (similar to the caterhams)

Another question

Does anyone know how far the head can be skimmed before clearance is an issue
