have just finished welding up a manifold to mount a turbo...that should kill the gearbox for sure.

You could use a R150 or R151F (someone can clarify all the numbers on the end) which are the cruiser and turbo diesel 4runner/surf/bunderra gearboxes.
I think the R151F is the stronger of the 2. Probably go for the 4runner/Surf to maintain centre output rear.

mating the g52 to the 3b was a bit of an epic project. used landcruiser cast iron bellhousing, machined the gearbox end off it then had a 10mm mild steel plate vacuum brazed onto it. machined the plate square plotted all the holes on a mill. big project, but it all worked in the end.

you're a Booty Fab GHOD!
eternal respect and admiration, master! would have thought an adaptor plate at the engine end of the bellhousing would have been easier? just not possible?
any pics of the buildup process for your one of a kind bellhousing - sounds like a truly impressive but of work.
cheers

thanks for that.
