Bellhousing - 5 speed to 12R motor

Hi guys.
I'm rebuilding a 1969 Corona, and I believe there is a bellhousing available which will allow a 5 speed box to be bolted to the 12R motors (I'm putting a fully re-built 4R into the Corona, which is basically a high performance version of the 12R). I understand that some of the later RT81's (ie the model after the RT40's, and which had 12R engines) had 5 speed boxes.
I have a 1979 RA40 Celica which I have taken off the road, and would like to fit the 5 speed out of that into the Corona (the Celica has the 18R-C motor). I'm not sure if that box would be the same as those fitted to the RT81 Corona's, and if I can get a ready-made bell housing, that would make the job a lot easier. Can anyone help. ??
Thanks.
Barry

Barry, the RT81 ran a 4 speed (never a 5 speed). However the 4 speed was a W40. You can use that bellhousing to mate the 12R (or 4R) to your W50 (Celica 5 speed). I don't know where a spare one is unfortunately, but will keep my eyes peeled.

I think that I have an R series to W50 bellhousing in the garage.
I'll check this afternoon and confirm, if it's still there it's free to a good home, located in Sydney, cartage, your problem.

There are marked differences in the bellhousing between 18R to W40/50 box and 12R to W40 box.
The R, 2R, 3R, 4R, early 5R, and 12R all have a cowling/shroud that surrounds the flywheel, making the bellhousing much shorter. The 18R doesn't have this shroud so the bellhousing is longer.
Cheers.

I have the bell housing, it is 18RG to W50 ( steel case Celica ) it has the clutch cylinder but no fork or throw out bearing.
I have some stuff going to Brisbane next week and can throw it in, won't make much difference to the load weight.
PM with some details, I won't be checking online again until tomorrow some.

Hi, suthol. I'm not sure if the 18RG bellhousing is going to be any good to me, unfortunately. I'm really after one which will allow me to bolt up the 12R motor  . (I can probably pick up a 18RG bellhousing here in Townsville).

No worries, I was not aware of the difference, it's up in the roof of the garage if any one wants it, I'll give it a week or so and then recycle.
