7MGTE into mx10 straight bolt on?

[da12nv]

hi just woundering if a 7mgte will bolt up to a mx10 standard engine mounts. or wat is needed for such a project..

[gianttomato]

Yep.654321

[da12nv]

so u dont have to change engine mounts or gearbox mounts

[wilbo666]

You use the MX10 engine mounts. (Correct me if I'm wrong GT )

You didn't mention gearbox in your first post, but if you use the MX10 gearbox (which will bolt up), then of course you can use the MX10 gearbox mount. Otherwise we need to know what box you're planning to use...


Btw you'll need to put your MX10 Mid sump on the 7MGTE engine (which should have a mid rear sump)...

hahaha wat manual gearbox is good for that conversion into a mx10 and wat about a clutch pedal i cant find any.is there a way to make one

[Kedderz]

w58 or r154 are the boxes of choice

[da12nv]

thanks and a clutch pedal..ive looked everywhere can u convert a brake one to a clutch one

[wilbo666]

W58 or R154 would be the manual boxes to use. R154 is stronger but a lot more expensive.

GT should be able to let us know what clutch pedals fit.

Making one from am brake pedal would be difficult.

ok thanks....whos gt and how do i ask him lol

[Kedderz]

my mx73 had a rt142 clutch pedal and cylinder, worked and fitted fine.

[da12nv]

but for a mx10 wat clutch pedal would be suitable

[wilbo666]

ok thanks....whos gt and how do i ask him lol

gianttomato, the frist person to respond

I'd suspect MX1x, MX2x? might be the places to look.

Maybe (big maybe) RA2x, RA40?

RT142 etc uses the newer style clutch master and I wouldn't expect it to fit...

thanks...the 7ms have a prob with the head rite..wats the go to fix em..and wat tail shaft should i use if goin down the manual rout

[gianttomato]

You could bolt up the original auto - it will last 20 minutes or so.

If you use any other gearbox, you'll need to modify the gearbox cross member. As for tailshaft depends on which gearbox you use.

Use a manual Corona Mk2 pedal box. You can modify an auto one I suppose - I'd consider using RT104 pedals but they may not suit. You're going to have to do the hard yards yourself there.

I also want to see a 7MGTE sitting on the ground next to your MX10 and a fuckload less SMS talk before I contribute any further.

ok thanks guys im gunna go off wat all of u say so im goin to buy a 7mgte and it should bolt straigt in anything else some one wants to add to the conversion..mx13 diff ok for this

[Jin~Jah]

the diff may last as long as the original gearbox will, depending on how you treat it

[_gear2]

i belive i have all the manual parts that u require lying around off a manual Corona Mk2
the pedal box etc.. (have a look if i can soure them up for u) but if u live up penrith way
the wrecker on new line road has a manual mark 2 in his yard if i remember right.

[da12nv]

thanks that will be a help
