There are plenty of V8 Soarers/SC400s in Oz and the US running the W58 (check on Soarer Central and Club Lexus).

 

What I always find odd is that the Aussies seem to use the W58 behind their Holden and Ford V8s (CRS and Dellow sell kits). You'd think the torque would kill the 'box.

You have the choice of bellhousing kit, 1UZ to W58 bellhousing adaptor, or A340 bellhousing to W58 adaptor.

 

Bellhousing kit most straightforward and A340 bellhousing to W58 adaptor most complicated, do you reckon?

 

 

This is a Soarer/SC400 conversion using a 1UZ auto bellhousing to W58 adaptor and hydraulic bearing clutch release:

H7ERO did a conversion in a V8 Aristo a few years ago with a Dellow bellhousing kit and R154.
