Yes.

Gear ratios;

4.987:1 1st
2.998:1 2nd
1.594:1 3rd
1.000:1 4th
0.728:1 5th
4.774:1 Reverse

You get a better spread than the LT85 with 1st 37% lower and overdrive 9% taller with the 5R.

Well back in qld after a whirlwind 'tour'.....

And back in to the conversions......

Will the MSA-5g/r + LT230 w/ adapter fit in a LT77 tunnel?

That's the aluminium type right? If so I have never tried to find out, but I think not.

Most likely (right now) you would have to go to either a R380 type or preferably an LT85 type.

I think the alloy type were only fitted with civy LT95 box.

LT77 followed LT85 box I think and so similar tunnel.
