ive got a vauxhall viva that, some point in the future, i will be doing a engine swap on. i know most of you will say get a vauxhall redtop to go in, but the hole point of the viva is to be a cheap modded car so i don't want to be spending £500+ on an engine and gear box set if i don't have to. especially when i already have a engine that might fit.
the engine in question is an sr20de (non turbo) from a Nissan primera GT, pushing around 150 bhp when it left the factory. now my question is; are there any 5 speed RWD gearboxes from other models/makes that will match up to the sr20 that cost a below £400? getting a gearbox from ebay etc from an 240sx or similar seem to be going for £500+ which defies the point.
any one know of cheaper gearboxes that will match up? i no its a bit of a shot in the dark, but doesnt hurt to ask.
many thanks,
scatman
