W58 onto a 3tc questions

[deaconfrost]

hey there, i've recently had a w58 fall into my lap for (almost) free, now I am wondering how difficult is it to put into a 81 te72 wagon, what parts do I need to make it work other than the adapter plate?
And I read somewhere that I can use a flywheel and a pressure plate from a t40, and then the clutch plate from the w58, is this right?

Thanks for helping a brother out.

and by parts I mean anything other than the obvious components of the drive train, I am going to be pulling it from a donor this upcoming week

island chain sells an adapter plate, your going to need to buy the correct clutch disk and redue your youk on the drive shaft...

I was looking at getting a custom one piece driveshaft made, this would solve the yoke issue correct? and I did message him about the adaptor plate, just waiting on a response (hopefully it comes soon haha)

If auto yes, manual no. If I were going to spend the money on a one pc. driveshaft, I would get an older type with the serviceable u joints. If you plan on changing the rear, I would do that first also. Thats going to be the weak link even with a T50. I took measurements off mid 80's 2wd toyota trucks and looks like would be direct bolt up to leafs on a wagon, same width drum to drum, but 5 bolt lug pattern.
