i didnt miss your post but unsure yet,i would have to say it is same rotation.i am not sure about dakota bell's as i am not familiar with them.Ill look at my jeep later on today to see where that starter would go.another thing what flywheel would have to go with that and what starter?
as for cash you keep posting and saving and before you know you will have it too

 

cool project. i have been helping my buddy swap a turbo 6.2L with a SM465 and np205 into his 89 Jeep Wrangler.

 

I can't save it the casino cheats and KEEPS stealin it !! GAME OF BLACKJACK !!! If you hold at 19 then 99.5 % of time house will draw 20 !! Same applies if you hold at 18 house will draw 19 !! AND ..... If you hold at 20 then 75% of time house will draw 20 also ( and the tie does not go to player .... it is a re-deal ) !! The ODDS of this in real life are NO WHERE near this !!!

ON TO JEEPS AND DIESELS !!!

You use the stock 4.0L flywheel and starter it just moves it to the drivers side away from the heat of the Exhaust and Turbo ....... just like JEEP did !! STOCK JEEP starter is on passenger side and exhaust is on driver side !!! i WILL GO TO PARTS HOUSE TODAY TO DOUBLE CHECK THAT jeep STARTER AND dakota STARTER ARE INDEED THE SAME !!

1999 Dodge Dakota with 3.9L V6 uses a 10.5 inch clutch and flywheel !! SAME AS JEEP

1999 Dodge Dakota with 5.2L V8 uses a 11 inch clutch and flywheel !! CLOSE ENOUGH .. NOT TO MATTER !!

 

Just a thought....but shouldn't you actually DO a conversion first, before trying to sell this?

 

not to sound like a smart *** but i went and looked on my jeep and took pics of what would posibly be left side conversion of starter.in my mind it cant be done for few reasons (BUT I HAVE BEEN WRONG BEFORE).
if you look at pics below stock jeep starter is too long and bulky and not only that will hit oil filter it will hit injection pump too.
other look at pic that that i have my finger pointing where stock flywheel is aproximetly sitting and you can tell there is not enough room for starter regardless of bell housing.
also if you are thinking of mounting starter on bell housing side towards transs. somehow you have lines for hyd clutch in the way.now you may know something i dont but i sure dont see it happening from my prospective. since you are selling this kit i assume that is what you are going to use in your conversion?keep us posted i would like to know how that works

 

Why not just use the Mercedes starter?

 

one could if wanted to.in my case i went with jeep flywheel and already had new jeep starter.also jeep starter for reman it cost me $40,so i figured if ever need to replace it will be cheaper.to add to all this i also sold mercedes starter
even if you went with mercedes starter if i remember correctly mercedes starter is even longer than jeep
also i think that both starters had same amount of teeth on gear(not 100% sure about this)

 

I misunderstood....I thought you HAD used the merc starter.

 

no that is jeep starter on those pics

 

Missed that too....

So let me get this straight...with it tucked in under everything on the driver's side, there shouldn't be any reason not to use the Merc starter, right?

EDIT: That should have read passenger side, not driver's
