Anyone knows what engine could fit in this gearbox. I currently have a 4g37 engine and the F5M21 gearbox. I was doing some research an i saw that the F5M22, which came with the 4G37, could work on the 4g63T engine. So the question is: will the gearbox i have fit in a 4G63T?

F5m2(1) usually is the code for the early cable gearboxes, which came on the 1.3 - 1.5 engines.
F5m2(2) are the codes for hydraulic boxes for use with the higher output engines...

Any of these will bolt up on a 4g63T or 4G93T? How easy is it to source the F5M22 gearbox?

Well that I can say is difficult at best.
Both can be bolted to the 4G93T with ease, but the 63, you will have to adapt the backing plate for it to be used.
Also you must use the non turbo flywheel to be able to use them.
But will tell you now...
The f5m21 are cable boxes and also short ratio'd. Ok for acceleration, but for highway driving is an issue, considering the engine's potential is limited.
f5m22 hydraulic is a better box, but there are so many different engines use this box, there are many different ratios out there...
