Something i may offer as well is a round plate that bolts to the kubota that you install your clutch put the trans into the clutch and pilot bearing , then drill you own bellhousing bolts with a hand drill . I just cant make adapters for all transmissions and it saves you most of the work ,

I acutally have my mind of making a header that is turbo friendly .. Im just not likeing the look of the turbo on top ... looks too cluttered .

IM working on a couple things . its really hard to make a adapter if you dont have a trans you can fit it it to . put it all togther and make sure it works right . I dont have a 4.0 trans laying around .. I will try to find one , but i also need to find another v2203 and just isnt any forsale here local ,,

As i type Im haveing the waterjet place make me up a manifold plate . so i can make a turbo header .

Well if anyone is interested I have a SBC adapter on the shelf ready to ship at a discounted rate. I am redesigning the SBC adapter to use a heavier flywheel and different starter and will the producing the kits again once proven out.The new flywheel weighs in at 52lbs and holds a 12inch clutch, instead on the 168 tooth at 28lbs. This should greatly reduce vibration and driveability will greatly improve, especially when you are trying to cruise in the 1600-1800 range. Probably overkill for the Kubota but longevity of clutch, starter and flywheel will improve.

Also as a teaser I am working on a full assortment of adapters for the Isuzu 4bd motors.

More to come...

Wild, looking forward to a turbo header for these. I have made the flanges and planned on a turbo manifold but found a killer deal on 2403t manifolds a while back and bought a couple, this sidelined my header project.

What is everyone using for fuel filter? I am in the process of collecting parts for a S10 swap. I have a baldwin suction filter/water separator. Is this sufficient or should I look at installing a finer filter between the lift pump and and the injection pump?

It is a baldwin bf1212 and I believe it is a 10 micron filter. Is there a need to put a second filter, like on my F250, or will this bee sufficient?

It's a newer 2203 with a ribbed belt instead of the v belt. Should I just swap it out for the v belt pulleys?



More info in case anyone else is looking for it.

This is a Delco 12SI alternator using a 4040450 4 rib belt.

What size and pitch are the threads on the oil gallery plugs? These are kicking my tail trying to find fittings for my oil feed lines.
