Tim, did you ever get my PM? I never got a response from you.

Thanks,

Dustin

 

The good news is that I got a 47re to my shop Tue. so I can bolt everything together. It is always a lot easier to do that in the shop than in a vehicle.

Yes Dustin, I did get your PM. I tried calling you. As for the difference. I looks like the Cummins crank is about .50 shorter and the flywheel on the Isuzu 5speed is almost .50 thick, the Isuzu auto flywheel is even thicker. Thanks for the heads up I would have been scratching my head for a bit until I found out where that extra .50 came from. It looks like it will not be that big of a deal. I will just have to have 2 different units, one for manual, on for auto. The auto housing will have to be almost 1" thicker than that manual one. I also found that the Isuzu auto flywheel will have to be bored to receive the front of the torque converter and drilled to accommodate the 6 bolts for the torque converter because they fall out in a different place than the Isuzu auto torque converter.

It is all coming together, just a few more things to get done and then off to the casting company again for full scale production.

Keep in mind the converter needs to mount to a flexplate, less rigid than a solid flywheel.

 

tim

any progress with the 47re???/

 

Yes, timo

I am machining a 1/2" hub adapter/ spacer for the Dodge flex plate to bolt to the Isuzu crank. This looks like it will be the simplest way to get this transmission to work behind the 4bd engines, without having to have a custom flexplate fabricated. This will allow you to still use the Dodge starter with this transmission.

That's funny, that's exactly how I made mine!

 

so will you be making one to bolt to a ford zf5 diesel transand a adapter for the flywheel?

 

Finally scored a 4BD1T. Will be needing an adaptor for a Dodge 47RH. Hopefully the engine will be delivered in the next couple of weeks. They are removing it from the frame now.
CAN'T WAIT !!!!!!!!

 

Congrats.

 

Any chance you would consider doing one for the Toyota straight 6 crowd? I'd bet they would sell real well!

 

You may have missed the thread near this one where Allmaras Machine is selling or developing the following adapters- Gm auto/stickshift, Ford small block stickshift, Ford 7.3 ZF 5 speed, Landcruiser FJ60, FJ62, FJ80, FJZ80 and the Isuzu-Cummins block adapter allowing any Cummins adapter set to work behind an Isuzu?

 

Yes I did! Thanks for the heads up! Though I would love to support dieselTim!

 

tim,

anything new on your adapter kits??

 

Tim,
Haven't seen anything on this thread in a really long time. How did things end up with the various adapter kits?

 

Yeah I'm still interested in how things turned out too, also still keen on buying one if you have any left or could get enough interest to make it worth doing another batch. Specifically after a Chrysler one to suit a torqueflite 727.

 

I bought one and it looks fantastic. But my house flooded from hurricane sandy soon after so I haven't been able to start the project up again yet. It was also around the time he fell off the earth. He did a really nice job on these things.

 

Oh, I'm still around. Just not on here as much as I would like to be. 2 kids and wife take up lots of time, so not as much internet time as I used to have. I do still get orders for kits and parts. My email and phone numbers are still the same. Tim.brotzge@gmail 770.712.8644.

I got my adapter from Tim, I followed up to buy a few more odds and ends like a clutch disk and Tim sent them to me before I had even sent him payment.

Great vendor

 

That's great to hear Tim.
