no kiddin? where ya planing to re-index the flywheel?

I suppose that's one difference. A machinist friend is going to make an adapter to go between the flywheel and the crank. I'm not planning on redrilling my flywheel.

Well I was planing on makin an adapter but was fighting for space on the two bolt patterns, I recon there is a way to do it however, I'd be intrested to see pics of it once it's made

Well I recon it's doable yet ya may need one bolt goin to the crank that's thin shoulderd, Gona have to go play with the bolt patterns and see for sure now..

Does anyone have CAD drawings of an adaptor plate? Im looking to swap a v2203di into my Ranger and I can't seem to find any drawings or measurements of the adaptor plate, only pictures. These engines were made for these trucks! it's perplexing that the big manufacturers havent caught on that people want a small, fuel efficient diesel pickup. Oh well, that means more opportunity for us to build them up! Any info is appreciated. Thanks, JD.

JD I can get ya a kubota to Toyota plate.

Ranchwest, that would be a great start, I would appreciate it.

C12H23, I am going to convert my 2002 Ranger Edge this fall/winter. I will have an adapter plate fabricated for the 2203 to 3.0L V6 transmission. If you have a 3.0, we should pool resources.

Unfortunately, I have a 4.0, so the only thing we could work together on would be the tranny side, I'm not sure if the 3.0 and 4.0 use the same pattern on the bell housing. Do you know for sure if the transmissions are interchangeable? If they are, I would be more than happy to enter into this project with you.

Could I ask, what turbo are you using?
I heard that I could run 12lbs of boost with no major modifications, is this true?
