The Kubota Swap 'Hijack Me' Topic
I figure this could be a good place to ask questions where they may not be buried in someone elses build topic. Feel free to hijack this thread with your own questions and discussions!
So here's one to start out. I'm working on a new intercooler setup, and I need an intake manifold with the port at the rear instead of at the front. I know I've seen these somewhere, but my searches are coming up empty. Does anyone have any information or sources for these? I'm pretty sure my fab guy can modify mine without too much trouble, but it would probably be cheaper if I could find a used one that already has the layout that I need.

Red, i have been toying with the idea of starting to produce kits like this, but with a block adapter.
I have everything I need to make a small block ford and a small block chevy. I have already have drawn up everything thing in solid works and made test plates to fit the transmission side, just need measurements for the kubota side and its on.
the ones i want to make will allow auto or manual tranny. once i find an engine i will have the first adapter within a couple days.
(still on the hunt as of right now for a motor i would be happy with just a short block for r&d)
this would just be a side thing to help fund my many on going projects
Personally I don't know how much I like the aluminum crank adapter, also needing a 2 inch thick adapater really pushes the flywheel out there.
Thanks
Ken

The TD04 I tried was too big, unless it had twins then it's going to be too small. Find a K03 turbo off a VW.
