Seedy Al Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 So, I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but you never know your luck Anyone swapped a 1kz to fit behind a w or G box? SO far I have concluded there is probably no factory bell housing option, So assuming that is correct, anyone made or seen an adapter plate to sit behind an auto bell before? Thanks guys, just feeding my pipe dreams at the moment. Seedy Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Pretty sure nothing factory exists to go KZ to W. Have seen the front half of a KZ bell grafted onto the back end of a L(I think) to make it work on a W/G box/pretty sure it was for sale on here but a long time ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorollaGT Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 You can get a KZ - Rseries if thats an option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I think the idea is to run a G box for column shift action? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Well, the idea is that the current box in my car is an N series, which is same bolt pattern as a g/w also. But yeah, I have access to a kz to r bell housing, but is completely useless. Man, wish I had that bell housing haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I think I was a couple levels of drunk / tired when we were talking about it over the weekend. How much different is L and KZ patterns? Actually I'll check tomorrow, both are sitting around at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seedy Al Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 damn now I really wish I had bought that cheap one years ago, not that I would still own it. went through my old build threads but couldn't find any info on seller so oh well Found this http://www.ebay.com/itm/1kz-1kzte-1kz-te-toyota-Bellhousing-W58-55-56-57-gearbox/281754813130?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140602152332%26meid%3D2c82166447c2434f953e495c58a24dae%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D2%26sd%3D281469442805 a tad spendy well, will be once you chuck in solid flywheel conversion also.

Testament Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 excusing my ignorance but why do you need the adaptor? can you not just run an entire box from a 2wd hilux that had a 1KZ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Im trying to retain column shift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Is column shift linkage or cable spec to the gearbox? Manual 1KZ supercustom R350 box could be an option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighLUX Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Are they a dangle box? Think so but never seen one IRL. Easy enough to fix tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetchh Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Although, kd's and kz's have the same block so you could use a later model one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 They do not. They're similar, but not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetchh Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Really? Everything I've read says they are.. What's the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I dunno never compared them side by side but they don't change model codes for nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
