w50 bellhousings

[sam-131]

i was wondering would a w57/58 bellhousing bolt on the w50 box? also how strong is the w50 compared to say a w57/58?

no sam. W40/50 bellhousing have a round hole in the back of them for the box, whereas the others have a kidney shaped hole, and i think some of the bolt holes don't line up either. no, a W50 isn't as strong as later W5#'s

W50 bellhousing to suit 18R and 20R engines.

No they are not that strong even though purists tell you about the horsepower they can handle.

Hamilton wreckers fitted a SUPRA Type W55 BOX from a RT142 onto the bell-housing below, to replace the busted W50, totally different alloy gearbox so it will fit an 18R.

I got the w50 box for junk and it has no bell hosuing so it must have fitted because I saw the gearbox go out the shop and into the hilux.

i reckon it'll last awhile, you'd only be pushing say 160-180ish HP.

i dunno if there's a bellhousing to fit though...
