Budowski Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 hay guys and gurls how hard is it to put an A series bellhousing on a K series 5 speed box?? and were can i get it done in qld Anything can be achieveable at an engineering shop and some funds available, but id say if you already have an AE71 just get a T50 box from another AE71 it will be cheaper. Ask a few AE71 drivers in your local area or even the local toyota wreckers they might be more helpful if all you want to do is get your car going again.

mikey_m Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 A K series box is a single piece bell housing and gearbox housing unlike the T series which is a three piece. This means that No not easily can you adapt an A series bellhousing to a K series box. Unless you do a cut and shunt which will cost mega $$$, like previously stated even a second hand T50 would be cheaper. Try this instead, if you have one T50 from an A Series, you can buy a T50 from a T series very cheap,(I keep them as spares for my rally car as they are chaper, I am unaware of any mechanical difference of power rating difference) the only difference is the bellhousing and rear connecting section which are interchangable between the A and T series T50 boxes. SO you can just swap your A housing from the existing box and just stick them on a T series T50 of which there are heaps floating around. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiro Protagonist Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) Or if you're intent on using a K-box (for some insane reason), track down a K-box from the US which was behind a 3A POS in the AE85....

Taz_Rx Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 thank you very much mikey_m you hav saved me alot of time and $$$$ Umm,........and he may cause you some greif too!!!! :y: What Mikey has told you there is not complete correct, although he slightly touched on the problem. T series T50 (from TA22 and TE72) have a forward shifter position (like a ke30/55) and a 20 spline output shaft. A series T50 (from AE71 and AE86) have a rear shifter position (like a ke70) and a 22 spline output shaft. So if you were to put the T series T50 into an A series car you would need to change the spline on the tailshaft, and cut the hole in the trans tunnel further forward - possibly causing a world of greif with the lower dash!! Alternatively - Track down another A series T50 and it'll bolt straight in with no extra work. :y: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golberg Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 T series T50 (from TA22 and TE72) have a forward shifter position (like a ke30/55) and a 20 spline output shaft. TE72's have the 20 spline output, but have the rear shifter position, I mean they share the chassis as KE70 and AE71's and as such the same shifter position. By far the easiest way to get a KE70 running with an A series motor is to get a K50 box from a Jap AE85. They still run a cable clutch so no messing around with pedal boxes etc. One of the sponsors on DC has one I think, although they wont take that much, might just survive with a stock 16v 4AGE.
