Just throwing out a question regarding doing an engine swap from a 3.0 166 super to a 156 V6 Q-system
Will it fit?
Has anyone done this before on a Q-sys?
What are the pitfalls?

There are plenty of conversions on the manual 156 but to be honest, I would love to keep the Aisin box in as it's truly bullet proof and tried and tested in the Lexus/ Toyota Supra models with 300 bhp +
I know you can get the job lot with a sportronic box but I love the ratio's a Q-sys has already

Your thoughts, knowledge and experience please:thumbs:

Chris155 is your man for these quesitons. But afaik its perfectly possible to do it. If you need to swap the rear head/stabiliser bracket you have the 156 engine for that & other parts
