4AG-W5X Bellhousing Identification

[RT40Corona4AGTE]

I know there have been several topics discussing these bellhousings before. Bascially I have found a bellhousing that I am looking at purchasing and am after where it came from and some information about it to see whether it will suit my current setup.

I believe it is one of the malaysian ones but I am not certain. I have attached photos below.

With this bellhousing it looks like it has been modified by redrilling some holes and removing some parts. The guy who currently has it said that he bought it around 4 - 5 years ago and cant remember where he got it from. He said it was probably one of the first ones in the country and he did mention Bill Sherwoods name, but he said he cant be sure.

My application is my current project car, where I will be making my own engine mounts, gearbox mounts, etc. I am mainly after whether this bellhousing is designed for the engine to be mounted on the factory angle or not? and if it is, what is the factory angle?

Also I will be running the GZE flywheel and want to know whether this will fit, or whether I need to remove some material from the bellhousing. (I have no dramas with doing this).

I am also planning on using a W57. I dont currently have a clutch fork, clutch, slave cylinder, etc yet and it would be appreciated if someone can let me know which ones I need.

Here are the pics........ sorry if they are big, i have left them in the size the guy sent them to me.

i have a very vague memory that some of the early ones had issues, but better to ask bill to confirm that.

Anyone else got any thoughts?
