Surely ye jest.....
To suggest that a Wal-Mart part, still in infancy of Cruiserlore, produced in massive quantities for the world market be compared to true unicorn parts, not produced in +30 years, even then in quantities so low they could be counted on the digits of attendees at Mr. T's boardroom meetings, makes but a mockery of the skilled, expeditionary hunters, sometimes years on a dried dung trail of true, rare, pink unicorn kills.
It's demeaning and offensive to the accomplished, those with the mounted breasts lining the trophy room walls...... You should be ashamed.
If you're specifically hunting new, found in Europe after a half assed search, that included 'NLA' replies from both Toyota and affiliates in Japan/UAE/Australia. If memory serves (I'll hunt email and forward) $650-700 shipped, from an established, esteemed vendor. Think flywheel was another $350-400.
But it's just a bell housing and bet @joekatana couid turn up used from same European market, for a fraction new.
OR....
HD bell, HD flywheel, HD 300mm clutch with H15XF/HF1A part time case.
Know a guy that can help with ALL of those, although if you gotta ask....

Hjz75 had them for a short run!
Cost when I bought wasn't terrible, but that was 3 years ago. Also at the time it was the fastest way of getting a known good part.
Yes, I have that combo into a 40. The project isn't finished yet, though. Everything fits, but it is snug.
ebay.com.au seller evtic01 has them but he has increased prices from $99 to $165 in the past year and he has shipped to US. They were $40 at junkyards in australia only a few years ago, but do what you must.
contrary to what was written elsewhere, you only need to swap the input shaft not the bearing retainer to convert a gas/2H H55 to 1HZ. Bellhousing mounts straight up (it is clocked like 3F and later bellhousings).
300mm flywheels are RARE, best get one from James Valley cruiserparts.net or wait...
275mm flywheels are super common.

Meh....
Unfortunately, the 275mm flywheel is incompatible with the inferior, clunky H15X's that made there way behind the pinnacle of Toyota diesel and petrol engines and are still utilized today.
One might say the H15Xs are 'rare'......but in the same way that STDs are, because once you have a couple, can't give the damn things away.
