While swapping my VW TDI engine into my toyota 4runner with a 3VZE and a R150f transmission, I'm needing to make myself an adapter plate. I found this nice CAD depiction of the VW engine, which made drawing out the block side of the adapter a no brainer....
I then started measuring out the dimensions on my bell housing, and am pretty close.... however, my drawn holes still have idiosyncracies... a couple mm off here or there depending on what point on the bell housing I measure to, so I turn to you!


Does anyone have a similar picture/pdf/cad drawing of the 3vze, 5vze, R150... anything with the same bolt hole layout?

Here's the TDI one I found, so you can see how useful it is.


I've searched quite a bit, but man... google's not really helpful in this area.

did you have any luck? i am looking for the same dwg or CAD file.

Make a rubbing of it like you do tombstones. If you secure the paper well it will turn out quite accurate.

^^^ yes, but the problem is getting it centered exactly. I was just hoping someone had a proven drawing. I'll keep searching since i am still in the process of researching, and shopping for a complete donor.
The bolt pattern for the 22re W-bellhousing can be found, but not too many guys have done an R150 behind the ALH TDI.

hey... this is an awesome idea. I personally love the tdi. What engine did you choose for this project and why didn't you use the original trans for the engine? some of them were longitudinally mounted engines. Im going to be pulling my engine soon and would really like to replace it with something... more fuel efficient and more powerful. The only problem is most of the used TDIs are fairly expensive. I would probably need to find a totaled Touareg.

Here's what I ended up creating. Not perfect, but a solid start.

How did your adapter turn out, Is it still holding up?

I've only put 10 miles on it so far... just figured out why my turbo wasn't boosting properly last night. Now I can properly drive!

Still got an exhaust leak to fix and wiring to tighten up, before I put any real miles under it's belt.
