2. whats the max BHP and LBS the std crank can handle
3. whats the max BHP/LBS thwe V160/161 can handle
The oem crank and the v160 can handle about 2000hp and 1500 ft-lbs of torque. Maybe more. Unless you spray waaaay too much nos AND run it badly tuned, you're not going to break it.
If you shift the v160 properly, you won't break it either (if anything, it's the synchros that go, from being shifted poorly)

4. what is the approx length of the engine and box combined from the crank pulley to the automotive parts gearbox gear change lever
- Not sure, but I'll check next time I'm under my Supra. I'd guess about six feet? Hopefully you're not in a hurry for this measurement...

5. whats the approx height of the engine from bottom of sump to top of cam cover
- I'd guess about 3 feet.

6. is the auto box bell housing the same mounting to the engine casing the same as the manual, in other words could i buy a 2JZ GTE and buy V160/161 seperatly along with bellhousing and fit it to any 2JZ GTE engine ?
- Yes

Thanks also. I was making an inquiry about this at the other forums last night & here it goes.
