Mercedes OM617 5 cyl Turbo Diesel engine swap to Jeep Wrangler YJ conversion
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.

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.

I tried to send you a private message did it show up in the right hand corner when you logged back in? Im new to how these forum websites are supposed to work... I will weigh the flywheels i have an extra from a transmission i bought.
No, we have to have 10 posts before we can PM.
I already get a butt load of spam, so what's a little more?

Went on maiden voyage tonight 2 miles, running real good alot more power than i thought. Trying to have everything ready for PA state inspection by Tuesday! Thanks for vacuum switch idea it shuts down nice....
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!
Passed state inspection...
Went 4 wheelin did great in the mud and had a chance to pull 3/4 ton chevy out of a mudhole. Definatley put the crankshaft adapter to the test. Took Jeep to Fall show at Carlisle PA last weekend, had a lot of people looking. I have 276 miles on swap now with no problems.
