After 4 years of waiting my chassis is finally coming together at LB cars. I configured the chassis using the Toyota 2GR-FE V6 as my power plant. Having a wicked hard time sourcing a Evora gear box. Please let me know if there is anyone here in the US that has done the complete build with a Toyota power plant. I need all the help I can get on this thing.
Has your chassis completed and shipped now? Mine is now supposedly going to ship in January.
On the engine side I've been in communication with Marc Labranche at Frankenstein Motorworks, I will go with his cams, intake manifold and an aftermarket ECU (likely Haltech) to improve engine performance. On the EA60 gearbox, the best US source I have found is Monkeywrench Racing, it adds quite a bit of cost if you don't have the core, but as you state finding an Evora box in the US is a battle, I even looked at the likes of CoPart auctions to buy a complete insurance write off for the drive train. The other option is to source one in the UK, have it crated, shipped over and pay the duties. I figured I'm so deep into this now I'm going and waited so long that I'm going to stump for the Monkeywrench rebuilt box with their LSD.

Any reason you don't want to go with the lighter, cheaper and arguably better shifting 5-speed e351? I'm sure Marc has suggested, right?
