mate your ute already had a dellow t50 in it, I'm now using that g'box in my 1200.

In your 1000 ute, with a14 and modified engine mounts, no modifying of the tunnel was necessary, and you can see the two holes in each floorpan where the custom Xmember bolted with sandwich plates.
You may have noticed that Shaun welded new humps in the tunnel to bolt in the 4-speed, these will need removing again.
It surprised me because with the same gearbox the tunnel in my 1200 required some major cutting, and the rear of the box sits about 2-2.5 inches higher.

Tailshaft needs modifying (I'd give you the one from your ute but I had the toyota bit removed and put on my shaft.)

I've got pics of the Xmember somewhere, will try to dig them up

The 1000 transmission tunnel is a bit smaller than a 1200 tunnel, even the 60a is a tight fit requiring with an angle grinder, the 63a and Celica box will need the transmission tunnel opened up some.

Thats why i asked where Datsunovic lives
because mine is on stands saturday an if he is
close by he could have a look at how to do
it,and no its not easy,in fact its a propper
pain,but got sick of breaking boxes and bit
the bullet

should be relativley the same as the kits is made to suit all A series engines. and seeing how all the A series have interchangable gearboxes (56 to 60 and 5spd to 4spd) then i dont think it will require any mods. best you could do is ring dellow and ask to speak to an engineer there who should be able to tell you whats involved.

Someone would of had to have put one in a 1000 before.

yeah ive done the toyota 5 speed, but into my ute, not a 1000

I am keen for onfo on this aswell.
I will be doing this swap into b 20 later this year so it will be good to what i'm in for.
Cheers
Ryan
