okay so im doing a transplant of the 1JZ-GTE (twin turbo straight 6 out of the previous supra), and im using the 968 trans-axle to hold the power down...now heres the part i cant seem to wrap my head around. do i use the bell housing from the 1JZ or the 968? im unfamiliar with the engine>clutch>torque tube>transmission setup and cant figure out how the clutch is going to work with an engine swap...
thank you. _________________ 1976 924 project. 2004.5 bmw 330xi m package for winter. |

You should use the bellhousing from the supra engine. Make an adaptor plate to bolt the torque tube to the bellhousing. A lot of people use either a gm or Chrysler slave cylinder. If you look at some of the swaps done here you can see how this works. _________________ 81 924 N/A

Sweet, thanks for the quick reply. so essentially im thinking use the bell housing from the supra engine, then make an adapter plate to go onto the torque (which I'm sure im going to need to find a bigger one as my 77' 924 one will just turn to dust) then from their its just a normal install.
ill be sure to upload picture along the way! _________________ 1976 924 project. 2004.5 bmw 330xi m package for winter. |

You should use the Torque Tube from the 968 or a 944 with the Audi 5-speed.
This will give you splines that mate up with fairly common Chrysler and Ford clutch discs that will handle the power you might produce.
Don't forget to grab the shift linkage to go with it.
The mounting point at the front of the TT is the same, so you can use your existing 924 TT to take measurements and start testing adapter plates, etc.
Some of the V8 swap folks have found that they need to shorten the TT (cut and weld) to ensure proper fitment since the adapter plate tends to move the engine forward and can cause fitment issues or issues with the nose of the driveshaft not fitting into the pilot bearing or allowing proper clutch actuation. If you have to do this, then you may be able to skip the adapter and build a steel plate to be welded to the TT that will bolt directly to the Toyota bellhousing.
Good luck. _________________ Stefan
