not without the correct (rare) bellhousing
k40 or k50 are a more realistic option

there is a cable clutch (very rare) and a hydraulic clutch (not as rare) bellhousing available.
what are you offering for a hydraulic clutch version?

just for a bit of info, where did the t50 get used with the k bellhousing? funny the cable clutch version is rarer than the hydraulic, is this because it was made for the earlier k series and then the hydraulic was for late model vehicles with k motors like lite-ace etc?? would be good to have a hydraulic clutch i reckon.

slightly related question...
The age old question, will a k50 bolt up to a 4a? Will it bolt up to a 4a if you put a t50-4a bellhousing on it?
Cheers,
Kev.

the age old answer, have you ever seen a K50 with a removable bellhousing?
fwiw, i took a pic with my hyd KtoT bellhousing mated to a celica T50 the other day.. won't get the pic up on site for a week or so tho....
the K BH is significantly smaller than a T series one...

you can get those bellhousings in new zealand, i'm chasing some up at the moment, you might also want to try club-k.co.nz forums
there are two companies in new zealand that make bellhousings to put a W55 supra gearbox behind a 4k. what sort of insane K motor would need that, i don't know, but the guys on garagedori.com could probably hook you up. be prepared to pay several hundred dollars tho
as stewart will testify, how long your gearbox lasts behind your worked 4k greatly depends on how you drive it. if you go around flatchanging at 8500rpm then the teeth tend to get a bit crunchy, as stewart and i well know. if you drive more sensibly, then you can have a gearbox last you many years, even a second hand one
angela in perth has a ke10 with a turbo 5k making like 180rwkw or something stupid - with stock gearbox, stock diff, and she has no problem because she doesn't dump the clutch or do burnouts
for what it's worth, 4 speeds are known to be tougher than 5 speeds, so if you keep breaking 5 speeds, consider changing up
i personally am just going to get a 5 speed rebuilt, new bearings, turn the layshaft around, do some mods to the synchros and hope that holds up

Yes and no.
It has to be a K50 from an A series motor. In NZ these are commonly found in the 3A powered AE85. There are a few other cars that have them as well.
