looks kinda like a W50 box?

rear mount looks different tho.

[RT40Corona4AGTE]

early W5x steel case perhaps?

chuck you are right though, rear mount looks a little weird?

[TTV8RA23]

Rear mounts have been modified as it bolts to a windsor.

[TTV8RA23]

Are they strong?

[RT40Corona4AGTE]

W5x's are fairly strong yeah. Steel case ones especially I am told, but I have seen the alloy case ones punished too and they survived.

Bit of mis-info here.

In the photo is a steel case celica box (also used in Crown's in the 70's) and is a W50.
Not as strong as a W5x box (W55, W57, W58), but still strong.
The box referred to in the above post is the steel sandwich plate W5x box, which is the post ~1988 version, which is stronger than the alloy sandwich plate W5x box (~1981 to 1987)

[RT40Corona4AGTE]

ah yes, sorry cruzida, you are correct, i used poor choice of words.

steel case is w50 = weaker of the w series boxes

alloy "sandwich" plate W55, W57 & W58 stronger

and

steel "sandwich" plate W55, W57 & W58 = strongest in W5x series

Thanks very much guys this is what i thought. A mate of mine is looking at one to bolt behind a 302 windsor, will be a bit hot so dont think it will be up to it.

Oh is that box still on trademe? I've been looking for a 5 speed for the Crown and that looks like the right vintage.

LOL... a hot Windsor, it'll handle it with ease

[litldv8]

a hot windsor? does it have flames coming off it?

[TTV8RA23]

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA No sorry im sorry i should use the technical terms shall i? Slightly modified to make a bit more power than standard. If your reply isnt related and constructive to answering the question in thread dont bother replying.

Apparently the W50 boxes from behind 6 cylinder motors were stronger, had a larger front bearing or similar? Been a fair while since I read that info though, was in an old magazine article. Mate who had a 289 powered 2WD Hilux (maroon one that ended up in Tauranga at one stage) used to smash W50's fairly regularly but he was doing a lot of skids with it so that didn't help.

Yeah, the 4cyl W50 had a ball bearing on the input shaft, where as the 6cyl W50 had a roller bearing.
