Unfortunately!! but quite a story.. this is another thing that is hackling me in
the back of my mind.. I don't know what type of adaption plates or
clutch is in the Truck.. and the sheer magnitude of the bell housing scares
me a little,, but is also intrigued.

There is lots more but hopefully Bryan will join our MLU family and become our African CMP junkie..

Alex, can you pass on to Bryan that once you start getting into larger sized trucks, US heavy truck Manufacturers start to move away from specific brand bellhousing patterns and use "SAE number" bellhousings. There is probably no adaptor fitted to install the diesel in place of the petrol motor. SAE 1, 2, or 3 are the most common truck patterns.

I will send a word doc to you Alex with the SAE patterns.
