Bellhousings
Are the 2WD and 4WD bell housings the same?
the reason i ask is that i found a 85 2WD turbo 22RE with the manual trans
i own a 87 turbo 4Runner.
i have a turbo 4wd manual trans and tcase with no bellhousing.
i searched and could not find any straight answers, maybe i wasnt using the right keywords.'
thanks!

From what I remember the housings are the same other than the side supports that attach to the motor. You would need those side supports ( Braces) that attach to the tranny bell housing and to the engine block. The bolt pattern should be the same.
Hope that makes sense.

Yes 2wd and 4wd bellhousings are teh same, BUT turbo and non-turbo are not.
A 4-cyl turbo manual transmission is an R series (R151). A non-turbo 4 cylinder manual transmission is a G or W series (same bellhousings between them).
But by the sounds of it, if you found a turbo 2wd, you CAN use that on your turbo 4wd.

Welcome!
Yes they're important. they help give your engine <-> bellhousing connection its strength. Without them, you risk your input shaft not being perfectly aligned and other things.
Are you doing a non-turbo auto to manual swap? If so, the brackets on the auto motor are almost identical to the manual ones. You just need to drill out the threads on them if you can't find proper manual ones.
