So I have read until I can't read anymore. I have a 4bt currently sitting in my box van mounted to a th400. I have a chevy nv4500. The transmission will boult to the adapter on the motor. Now I just need to figure out the parts in between. Flywheel and clutch. From what I can gather here, the yahoo 4bt group, and a landcruiser site I also frequent is I have two options.
1. I can buy the expensive Cummins to manual chevy flywheel (new $800ish, or hope to find one used hiding in some dark junkyard and really far away). Then use the 454 12" chevy clutch.
2 I can get a reasonably priced 6BT flywheel, and for the pilot bearing either change the input shaft to a dodge one, or machine the flywheel to fit the chevy pilot bearing. The use a chevy clutch (which one)?
Any help would be appreciated. Reading a standard message board is much easier than navigating the Yahoo groups, so I came here.
Thanks in advance.
