Lexus V8 is $900 - $1400, adaptor plate is $200-500 depending on which one you want ....... not that i've been looking what about a 1kzte?

Havent you got your reading spec's on Tony or dont you read the posts above? I'm guessing a 13bt is the same block as a 3b?

hello.. time for a little installment of 40ness..

after a great heads up from mad mike,i was able to locate a bellhousing from a dyna to pair the 5 speed lux box to the 3b 'power' plant..

when first fittin it together i tried to adjust the metal spacer plate that fits between the bellhousing and motor to fit the starter, but when turnin it over, a rather 'cringe causing' GRAKKK was to be heard.. plan 2. stole the flywheel, metal spacer and all clutch components (as new) from rusty's drive train and stuck it on... adjusted the housing (ya can see the slotted hole) to match the metal spacer plate thingy and turned it over.. SWEET!!!

next i had to dremel just a tad off the bottom of the clutch forks mounting ball thing and then bolted the housing to box, and all then all that to the motor.. as below pic shows.. i've left out the clutch and pressure plate for this fitting to see how the spindle fits, then will refit with clutch etc for spline checkin etc.. i would of checked it there and then but work was beckoning.. will know more soon..
