its got an NA rocker cover and oil pump from those pics.
my DR30 RS ('83) had an R180 clutch LSD in it. only one ive seen, and had real oddball halfshafts too.
body tag should tell you. transaxle will be RC39 (R200 3.9 FJ turbo)or RC41 (R200 4.1 FJ NA) if its still got the original one in there...
Another project? R30 rs

Re: Another project? R30 rs
LH one looks like an LD28 or LD20 gearbox - is it a five speed?? if you look closely the belhousing is turned slightly (follow the top casting line from box end to bell housing) as the LD or L ( cant remember which one ) is leaned over more.

therefore is most likely a 4.1 R180 like mine was.Evil13 wrote:Says rb41vegie wrote:its got an NA rocker cover and oil pump from those pics.

and right hand gearbox looks to be a FJ20 NA box. it has the small flat bit at the top of bellhousing.
man i forgot how kooky those long offset gearsticks were

Re: Another project? R30 rs
I would say LH gearbox is off a L20ET or other non tilted L series, which would only be a 6 cyl. Is it dogleg or H pattern? You can identify them fairly easily when they're clean, they will have 71B or 63A on the casting on the bell housing usually. You can use a gearbox with the wrong tilt for your engine without a problem, you just have to bend the gearstick (easy) or just deal with the slant (also easy)
