Just to not confuse everyone, here is my 1966' that the Cummins is going into.
It is also getting the following ...
NV4500 tranny
60 Series split case
Full OME suspension with reverse shackle kit

OK so complete rebuild of the NV4500 ... my god these gears are HUGE, must be the most compact/heaviest tranny on the planet

You doing the Birfields yourself? Upgrade on the shafts and joints?


Lemme know how tricky they are to rebuild.

No Jeff, my mechanic is doing this work, I'm there every afternoon helping out where I can ... and watching and learning. Keeping shafts, these are built like tanks so we will see ... we made some good progress today

Default drilling position
So looks like the engine has to go back approx. 1.5" to give us some extra space for the rad fan, and better for the intake tube as well. Guess this is the reason we pre-assemble everything ! Looks like this is the last of the clearance issues .. still have to place the front grill today and check for AC and oil cooler space
