Was never the box price that got me it was the conversion price in the UK that was stupid for the toyota box. When I priced it a few years ago the conversion was more than a new WC T5 at something like £1300. No surprise in that company doesn't seem to be around anymore which leaves dealing direct with the company in NZ. No idea what their prices are like. Even now you can buy a new tr3550 for £1200 and thats a 400 lb/ft box or £1100 for a new WC T5.

Ive seen some steel bellhousings, but never actually had one in hand.
Given SFI regs and why steel is used, I reckon they are about 1/4" thick steel.
Dont forget though, that the steel bodys arent always such a transmission tunnel friendly shape.
It should be a doddle to get a Supra flange cut from steel, and welded onto a steel bellhousing though.
The only slightly tricky part would be the clutch operation, but even that shouldnt be too hard.
How much are the Dellow conversions though ??
