Well what do you guys recommend? Easier to machine the kubota flywheel or use the stock ford flywheel?

Also thank you very much for the drawing of the kubota bell housing, now all I need to do is draw up my ford t5 center them and overlay them.

Update: Since modifying the pump the little truck runs fantastic, so good in fact I have changed the rear gear out again, this time to a 3.08. It still has plenty of power for the gear and runs about 2100 RPM at 70 MPH. The engine is running cooler and seems to labor less. However, I’m disappointed in the MPG I’m getting from the IDI engine, it just isn’t what I expected, I thought it would be much better. I performed controlled test runs today with a “controlled fuel tank”. I ran exactly 1 gallon of fuel during each run and the test were performed at a specific MPH, here are the results. 60 MPH yielded 31 MPG, 70 MPH yielded 28 MPG. These results are not anywhere close to what I expected, nor are the close to what FTE is getting with his DI engine. So, I believe I have come full circle with the IDI engines, I do not believe there is anything else to be improved upon in power or MPG. Don’t get me wrong, the truck runs great, I just want more MPG! I have a DI engine on the stand being built as I type, updates when I swap it out.

Not sure, never had it on a dyno, but it's significantly more than a stock 2203 engine! I can run down the interstate at 70+ with power to spare. I have an app on my phone that calculates the vehicles weight vs. engine displacement combined with a 0-60 run to give you an approximate H.P. rating. I need to try that before i swap over to the DI engine.
