22R timing chain guides were on the way out, so I replaced them and new chain, freshened up the motor and sold it.
Picked up a LS400 front sump UCF11 1uz with full loom and manual conversion
Pulled out the motor to discover G52 box, not a W series...
Thought about using G series with the W/R series adapter

A341 Bellhousing didn't want to work
The with the Adapter bolted up to the W57, the A341 bell fouls on the bottom bolt head.

And the 2 widest bolts into the adapter to the box, the heads foul the bell.
Worked it out
Howe Hydraulic Release bearing
Shim kit that came with it is questionable...
Had to have a 27mm spacer made up to sit this thing far enough forward.
Picked up power steering box for it, replaced centre rod, steering idler, and inner tie rods while I was there.
Looks like the Alt may foul the PS box, will mount it on other side....
W57 bolted up to stock G series mount with minimum modification, had to elongate rear rubber mount holes buy 3mm, tailshaft went straight in same spline.
