Yes, according to XK, its a cast bellhousing and it uses the TOyota t-50
tranny which came in everything Toyota RWD (cept the trucks and supra) for
like 15 years in the USA. RWD Toyotas are pretty rare in the UK, and this is
why I think they switched over. I'll tell you all how it works out, with
photos and everything Hopefully around the end of November if everything
falls on budget and on time.

Wish me luck
