Bellhousing is easy...you need W>G!

As for the box...you want a W series box with a rear shifter..not mid or front shifter otherwise you'll have to cut out your console to make it fit through properly...

Depends. If it's a 1G-EU bellhousing it's not worth much. But be prepared to pay more for a 1G-GEU or 1G-GTE bellhousing as the 1G-EU bellhousing has clutch fork and slave cylinder on exhaust side, which you don't want as the exhaust may heat the clutch fluid and make the clutch hard to use or not work at all. The 1G-GEU or 1G-GTE bellhousing has clutch fork and slave cylinder on the opposite side.

None of the housings are really worth much. I paid 10$ for my 1G-GTEU housing. Just have to do a bit of hunting.

also th 1c and 1s and 3t bells fit aswell, except one bolt(can be slotted to line up) up top, but locate fine, so thats 4 different engine bells, generally with the option of clutch fork on either side so thats at least 8 different bells to choose from.
