The bell housing will have to be modified to fit the starter, clutch will be a twin disc

Not sure what the stock one weighs, the v160 weighs roughly 115lbs

For those that don't know, the R154 is the MKIII Supra Turbo 5-speed. Yeah, you'd lose a gear, but 5th is actually a better highway gear than the 6th in the V160 because of the ratios. Plus the tranny is FAR cheaper than a V160.
Yes, you could run the R154

If you look hard enough, you can find them for around $3500. Not cheap but a gearset for this trans will end up costing just as much if not more.
