To Rebuild The BW35 or Swap in M41 120-130

Hi Mike,

The box I used was the then popular & easy to find 4cyl Celica (W50?) know here as "the toyota steel case". You have to weld parts to the belhousing because the bottom bolts that hold the box to the bellhousing are outside the rear of the bellhousing & the input shaft is about the same length, so there's no rrom for an adapter. I did it back in the late '80's, at least a decade before Dellow made one. Now, I would highly recommend the Dellow bell housing, because they are about 3x thicker than the Volvo original & the Volvo housing is on the weak side.

Dellow make a housing to adapt what they call the 'upright engine' (B18/B20) to the old Celica box, or a housing to adapt the 'slanted engine' (B21, B23, etc.) to the stronger & lighter Supra 5-Speed (Aluminium W55,56,57,58). I don't know if they make a Supra conversion for a B20, but's that's what I want. You, being in the USA would probably be better off with the T5 that seems extremely popular there. They aren't that easy to find here, else I'd go that way eventually.

I'll fire up the camera if you want to see pictures.
