I've still got my 78 wagon and still looking for options. Seeing if it's possible to hook up a supra rear end just. You know just for fun. Any insight is always appreciated. Here is how she looks now.

You can also buy sheets of paper gasket materiel and custom fab your own. Just lay it over the manifold and score it along the edges by pressing your finger against all the contours of said manifold then you have a guide. It should separate fairly easy if not use an exacto knife. Don't forget...

Also maybe a little off topic maybe not you be the judge, but I'm looking at a possible complete powerplant swap from 85-87 ae86 gt-s into my wagon. I just wanna know if it's a pipe dream or something possible. Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

It wasn't a dying battery sound. It was a single click each time I turned the key. Thank you for the info on the short shifter. If I took the driveline from the car I get the tranny from would that help with problem? Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

Oh yeah and my mistake it's a wagon and not a lift back. I know it sounds like a ridiculous mistake to make but I couldn't find the wagon classification at first and since the car is so small I wasn't sure it would've been given that class. But wrong again. Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

Oh man long story. Clutch was acting like it went out at first which I totally expected to happen anyway. Once I got the transmission away from the engine and took the flywheel off to realize it had been replaced before and was put in backwards and had no pilot bearing on the input shaft...

I'm not sure if it's referring to the shifter itself or something inside the tranny. Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

Oh yeah I forgot to mention my car is a 78 corolla wagon. Sorry about that.

Hello again. I researched the other cars that had the t50 gearbox. the 83 cellica is common and local to me. Will I have any issues with this swap? It says my transmission has a shorter shifter on the tail shaft and I'm not sure if this will screw me over or not. Any advice is appreciated...

thank you all Thank you for your replies and advice i do believe it is helping. I learned that the 83 cellica had a t50 as well,(along with a few others of course) but this one is most plentiful and local. Another question though. It says I have a shorter shifter on the tail shaft for my car...

I have a 78 corolla deluxe liftback. It has the 1.6 liter engine and the T50 transmission. Gearbox is on its way out currently. Question is what transmissions are compatible with this motor. I can find the pick em up trucks a lot easier near me and they mostly have the 20r motor and I want to...
