Two questions, would factory aircon fit in the engine bay with a 202 with triple sus? and what are some good 4 or 5 speed gearboxs (e.g. supra or m20) / diff combos for it. right now it just has the standard 202 and banjo diff with it. thanks for any ideas.
Hi you might get triple strombergs or su's might not get webbers, as for gear box i would go m21
With a 3.36 diff

I'd just use a 390 4 barrell Holley. You don't really want triples with factory air? I assume you are talking HQ-WB here?
Use an M20 4spd with a 3.08 or 3.36 diff. Don't use an M21 behind a 6cyl in a big heavy van - you'll hate it!
i dont have factory air yet, but i have a set of triple sus at home, i was just wondering if they would both fit in. and yes its in a hj van. what would maek an m21 so bad? and as there a huge a difference between a 3.08 and 3.36
M21 and XU-1 boxes are close ratio and would not suit a big heavy HQ van with a 6cyl especially one with a bigger cam and triples. They are bad enough behind a 253. The difference between 3.36 and 3.08 is about 8% less engine revs for the same speed in each gear assuming the same tyres and gearbox used for each diff.
W50 5sp Celica box goes really well behind a 6cyl Holden engine, try and get one with the cast iron housing. As for triple SU carbs... pfft.... great if you like spending time tuning them before every drive, I had them on a 186 HR back in the 80's.... best thing I ever did was remove them and fit twin Dellorto's. You'll still have to tune them but no where near as much as SU's.
