Well it needs at least enough room for a belt change that’s for sure. And a damper change too. I’ll shoot for 1/4” which should allow both.

Okay good news! Settled the engine a little more and got the tranny x member in. Sitting more level with some space on the AC pulley there’s not enough room for factory engine mount on the drivers side, that big one that offsets the factory engine so much. And I was thinking this makes the...

I’m not so sure it does fit actually. Yes it’s there but it’s touching frame rail and I may need to shift engine that way a little more also. Everything is very tight. I don’t see how the front driveline is going to fit past oil pan with only 2” body lift......

CMon DAT I’m pulling ahead! (don’t be fooled by the apparent progress it’s justbsitting precariously there on jacks and blocks)

Several people swayed me to think the stock pump is not reliable and dangerous for the fuel system at any power level over stock, however, I’m starting to doubt that sentiment. I’m thinking going back to stock but also put a fuel pressure sensing device.

I’m going to use the hmmwv mounts if possible. Wont know till I fit it I guess. I think that’s what steelsoldiers did. Looked like it worked out well. What did you select for a fuel lift pump? I am lost in reviews and I’m not going to spend 600$ on some fancy thing, especially without...

Buying cars from out west is smart. Here’s in Oregon it’s rains a lot but interestingly that preserves the cars. We don’t use road salt and we don’t have brutal sun so the cars out here are often rust free and in great shape. My power pack is almost ready to toss in the frame.

Got a different input shaft today and third time is the charm. So the part I found to fit was Jeep TJ, np231, 97-02. My previous attempts were too short, or wrong bearing. Just wanted to add to this helpful thread. Oh also the input shaft we want for this needs to be the 5-1/8” long with...

That might make sense. I have a rebuild sheet from a shop here that says it’s an a618 but that could be incorrect. I also thought I read that the diesels always had the 618 and the gas models used the 518.

Okay i definitely have a 2 pin plug. So I either have a 47rh or a a618, or those are the same. Or they are the same except the bellhousing? Dang well are all the OD units the same 23 spline? At least I can continue with that side of the project lol. I guess I was mislead or wishfully thinking...

Thanks for that. I’ll get under the truck and see tomorrow. The truck is very low so it’s hard to get under there lol. The paperwork says a618 though and the housings seem to cross over.

So does it seem like a clocking ring will be required to get correct positioning? I must have a RE overdrive unit because if I had a similar length t case gear in 23 spline as you do there I’d need to cut it down to get it mated to my overdrive. Hopefully this overdrive doesn’t have a problem...
