FJ40 trans to chevy V-8 bellhousing

jerbear · 07-01-09, 07:41 PM

Hi
I got this with a parts vehicle that I picked up and I have no use for it. This bell housing was mated to the stock Toyota transmission in a 1971 FJ-40. There was a chevy V-8 Block on the other end. It has the stud where the clutch fork attaches. I cleaned it up as it was crudely painted and really dirty. The only markings on it were "GM" (Ithink) and 460 486 over the number 1. I don't know much about these so if my asking price is out of line let me know. I am asking $100.00 or best offer. Shipping is at the buyers expense, but I will help in any way possible. Thanks for looking.

dumb question but that is for a 4-speed right? i have a 3 on the tree and i think 71 is 4.

that looks like a factory gm cast aluminum bell housing to me. this will not work with a cruiser 4spd.

I think you also need the spacer plate to use it with the Toyota 3 speed...

Thx orange. It was bolted to a transmission in the truck which I still have and it looks like my other toyota transmissions. Is it possible that the transmission is some sort of GM product? Thanks for the information. I will pull the ad if necessary as I am not trying to scam anyone. I only know what I saw when it was on the truck.
Thanks

Maybe there was a plate between the transmission and the block? I will look. Let me know if this is possibly the case.

Plate goes between the bell housing and trans.

Or you may have a Chevy trans attached to the bell housing (SM465, SM420)

i would'nt pull the ad. i don't think anybody on here thinks you're trying scam people with your ad. i certainly don't think so.

but like the others mentioned, if there was a toyota trans behind this bell housing than there'd have tobe an adapter plate between the two. for a 3spd, you'd have 1/4" or so plate with a round hole in the middle. for a 4spd you'd have a 1" or so plate with a figure 8 hole in the middle.

I think the 460 468 stamped on it shows that it is a chevy bellhousing. I think it is from a chevy truck with a 12 inch clutch.
