BOP to Chevy pattern adapter?

ok, so I shoulda googled....

This diesel swap is making more sense all the time...

You will need an adapter to bolt a BOP engine to a Chevy trans and also shims behind the flywheel to properly engage the torque converter into the pump. What year is the TH700? Is it pre-'85?

look for the tranny that came behind the 350 diesel.. my uncle had one in an '82 caprice.. not sure if it had a 700-r4 or the 200-4r. I think the 6.2 uses the chevy pattern and has a much better rep than the 5.7.

also you'll need to get the 700-r4 setup for a diesel... i.e. very low stall converter, valve body and governor... you don't want it making a

hmm-- good eye, Brett.

Wouldn't happen to know what sort of economy you get out of a 6.2, or how much it weighs, would you?

not sure on either.. but I don't think the 6.2 weighed much more than the 5.7.. that olds block was heavier than a big block chevy! I think my uncle got high 20's out of the 5.7 in the caprice.. I think you can do the same or better depending greatly on gearing.

which one.. out of an isuzu NPR? or the 4cyl cummins?.

if it was me, I'd go looking for a 89-93 Dodge W250 w/ a 12 valve cummins and a manual (I'll never ever advocate a mopar auto... they just suck).. the whole combo needs (iirc) just 2 12v connections and fuel and you're good go.. length may be a problem in a jeep, along with weight if you're still on stock axles.

What bellhousing bolt pattern is the NPR I-4 Diesel? I have though about putting one in a pick up for scrap hauling. Charles
