I had those same concerns about the engine. I e-mailed him about shipping and a couple questions about the rebuild and he only answered my shipping question, that alone is enough for me. I do quite a bit on ebay and have have pretty good luck but I tend to stray away from sellers who either don't respond or don't actually answer your questions. I guess my best option would be a complete donor vehicle but I am afraid my wife would...

We or at least I am strongly considering it. Both options (trim or beat). The bummer would be simply pulling the pan but it is a possibility... Our other thought is let the axle bang it up once or twice a little and then it should be OK Again it is close but not that bad.. With 4" of lift I think we'd be in much better shape but it does fit with OME and slightly taller than stock height shackles...

the isuzu diesel swapper adapter is $650 the AA 700r4 to the Toyota trans case, is a similarly priced. 4L60 was just what I found that was non electric. this was a good truck case, better reliability than a 700R4, but was able to mount to the two adapters. 4L80, my understanding was there were electrically controlled? You can get a computer module to control it, but that is also another chunk of cash.

not shure if this was already covered, this thread is very long. Maby one of the heads of mud could make a sticky listing the KNOWN pieces required for a conversion. Something containing specs and dimensions. To the question, what kind of radiator configuration does the isuzu require? I have a small dribble starting to form on my botton tank, I love upgrading things whenever I get the chance. A nice aluminum radiator would really be cool in...

I just finished taking precision measurements of the mating face of the toyota H41 (same as H55) using a CMM. It should only be a few days before I have a solid model complete. Hey Dougal....what is the proper method for measuring the center of the transmission input shaft relative to some other feature on the front of the transmission (there are two locating holes for mating the bellhousing that seem like good features to use)? I know that...

Yes, I did contact Novak, and they told me that they were not interested in making any adapters for "Diesels" If you want to put in a gas engine then they would be happy to talk to you. Go figure! I have yet to find anyone that would be willing to try this one, so I am still looking, I don't have the CNC machines that I would need to be able to make this a production operation. Making one at a time is just cost...
