The belhousing is rare but only good to you if you have a 6. They are a good box, but parts are getting hard to find. Warren

If its a 6 maybe the Celica box would be cheaper, got a bell housing you can have + 2 spare box's for gears etc. Cost you a bottle of turkey. There are a range of box's out there, ev

Im not sure what it was out of, but has the single groove on the splines, and no shifter mount on the extension housing. Does this indicate it was early monaro? or was this common? O

At least parts can be found. A Saginaw isn't much stronger at all than an aussie box. Plus you'll need a pull fork bellhousing, crossmember and some sort of shifter arrangement whereas

Plus it shifts far better then the aussie

The suggestion of the aussie 4-speed was in preference to a Saginaw if the target car already has an aussie box eg VK. A Saginaw is marginal at best in strength over an aussie box.
