I have some info from a New Zealand company called Conversion
Components. They list TR4-TR6 conversion to a Toyota Supra
5-speed gearbox, including gearbox, bellhousing, clutch parts, speedo
cable, crossmember, and shipping for roughly $2400 NZ (about
$1400 US.) You can omit the gearbox and save $500 NZ.
The flyer is from November 1997. I haven't dealt
with them.
