Good find

Phelpsa's find above is a good option or the bellhousing to use at it places the clutch release arm nice and high so as not to use up drivers foot space.

They do indeed use an xr4i box which does have a longer input shaft.

They use it because it has a better set of ratios and has the reputaton for being a little more robust. Its still not good ratios for a k series really tho.

You can buy bellhousings elsewhere if you want to use a type 9 5speed from an inline 4 engine. (really bad gear ratios)

There are also sometimes issues with the diamter of the input shaft.....

Cheers

Chris
