Does anyone have a bellhousing bolt pattern drawing? Are all the 3.0's the same?

I'm looking into putting a 3.0 V6 TDI out of a 2014ish Q5 into a 85 Toyota Pickup. Aside from pulling the engine from my wife's Q5 and measuring everything.... I figured I'd ask here first.

Thanks,
Tuco

I was wondering about this too, but that torque will shred your g56.

No question about it.... Probably would kill a w56...... but there are many other transmissions it wouldn't tear up.

R150f would probably work, and there are lots of them.

The r150f has been mated the the 4bt motors and held up ok(same as ax15). The torque pulse of those motors wreaks havoc on bearing and synchros.

Can get some upgraded Marlin crawler parts for even more strength.

The r150f would take more abuse from the skinny pedal than your 8"differentials.
