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 !!

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 !!
