Another Mercedes OM617 into a Wrangler
#33
A special thanks goes to a fellow member of this forum for inspiration and advice!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH VLADO ; YOU ARE A GREAT FRIEND !!
But , here is my Mercedes om617 into my 1994 wrangler ( not quite complete ; but getting there !! )
The adapter from JEEP flywheel to Mercedes crank with provision for Jeep Pilot Bushing!!
The engine to Bellhousing adapter ( which the machinist flipped over before milling and offset everything so my Dakota Bell would not work ) so I used the AX-15 Bell housing so as not to scrap the WHOLE PIECE and start over !!
Both adapters bolted to engine !!
And the tolerances are quite close but the 1/4 inch won't hurt anything !!
And the stock Jeeps clutch is now in place !!
---AutoMerged DoublePost---
And the project continues !!!
Underside view !!
Underside with the jeep starter in place and the dreaded part was clearancing the cooling fins about 1/8 of an inch ( I hated it but, it had to be done !!)
Some of the final mock ups before she goes into the Chassis ( hopefully tomorrow ) to have the motor mounts welded to the frame !!
