Niteparts in NZ, its a very common conversion over there. not common here as there aren't to my knowledge any locally manufactured bellhousings.

Dellow make a bellhousing for 4a-W55/7/8 (www.dellowauto.com.au). I have heard mixed reports about them. But at least you can source them from Australia.

it's all in the ratios. I thnk the W55 is the shortest and the W58 the tallest. The W58 has a steel sandwich plate as well (allegedly stronger)

What horsepower are you making. I have a 4agze running a t4,haltech and it has a steelcase celica 5speed using a steel conversion plate, probably a bit cheaper than W-boxes and full conversion kits. Just had box out for clutch repair and it all bolted up fine. Make sure you consider all options before shelling out your hard-earned.
