W58 on 1uz questions
Okay so I found a w58 from an 87 supra that the guy is selling to me for $100. I have a 95 sc400. I know they made a couple of different ones so I was wondering if this is a good buy. Right now I am putting a new motor in the car so I am far from doing the swap right now but ****, it is $100!!! Thoughts would be appreciated.

It's not terrible, if you're staying na it'll be fine. Might want to send the shifter out to be stretched a bit but it'll work. Also, just wanted to make sure you're aware that you'll need an adapter kit and all that to make it work. If you plan on boosting your 1uz, you'll want to ditch the w58 idea just cause it'll lunch itself at anything more than low boost. For $100 though, it's a hard deal to pass up

Btalley, I don't recommend the MKIII W58 for your car. Too much work to adapt it to the car considering how weak it is compared to the SC300 W58 and MKIV Supra W58 both of which bolt right in apart from the 1UZ adapter kit and cutting a shifter hole in your transmission tunnel.
The work required is basically all the same things needed to adapt an MKIII R154 to an SC.... but with none of the added strength benefits.
The MKIII W58's are better suited to MKIII Supras, MKII Supras, MKI Celica-Supras, Cressidas and possibly Coronas.
