Would i be right to assume that an MQ bellhousing would not bolt to a GQ box??
Are there any other patrol bellhousings that are interchangeable??
Want to keep he GQ box as it has the PTO on it.

The V8 is coupled to a MQ bell housing. i want to know if the MQ bell housing will bolt to the GQ gear box in the GQ so i can retain the PTO amongst other things.
If not, the MQ bell housing will be scrappd and will find an adaptor to fit the 8 to the GQ bell housing.

The MQ gearbox & bell housing are totally different to the GQ. I would be sourcing a GQ bellhousing if I wer you as there will be much mucking around to make the MQ gaerbox and transfer fit the GQ. Plus the MQ box is nowhere near as strong.
I looked into fitting a TD42 to my old MK when the SD33 was getting tired but then realised that part of the drivetrain is totally different so I took the lazy option and bough a GQ. I also got coil springs to boot
