looking to relocate om617 oil-filter housing...
#14
...35" tires would be nice but i want the ability to park in the garage. Once i get the top off i'll be too lazy to put it back on until winter sets in in late nov/early dec.
As of now i've got the 3 speed shift on the column.
I was looking at a 700r4 but will have a hard time keeping my pto if i swap over to any automatic.
Now i'm thinking swap in an early h42 from an fj40 and match her up to the MB om617 using a home made adapter plate.
Then comes the issue of how to to make the starter work. I'm thinking maybe modify the flywheel of a non turbo MB diesel to fit the turbo version.
Still in the planning stage.
I put the isuzu 4bd1t in my fj60 and those engines really don't like to rev. I used a ranger overdrive to allow me 70-75mph cruising.
This time around i'm building my own engine adapter kit.
