I can have more adapters made at my work. They cost about $340 dollars for the set, 1 crankshaft to flywheel adapter with machined pilot bushing and 1 engine block to bellhousing adapter. Thanks for tip on fuel shutoff i will try that this weekend.

Sign me up!!

Just for the sake of curiosity, what is the weight difference between the MB flywheel & the Jeep? I know the Jeep wheel must be retained, but I was curious if the Jeep wheel was significantly lighter than the MB wheel if there may be some vibe's...

Either way i am going with this same setup, let me know how to contact you please.:c:

Great news! I wonder sometimes weather those hp & tq numbers in the book are really what these motors put out. They seem to perform alot better than those numbers would suggest, and I haven't even turned anything up yet!
