Cummins to T-34

[shortbus4x4]

Has anyone ever bolted a cummins b-series diesel to a International t-34 transmission and kept a list of parts required?

Doubt it -- way too much "work"...

Probably need a custom fabricated bell housing and a custom machined input shaft.

Must be an easier way to get a 5sp od -- dodge?

This has been done. The secret weapon is the sae bellhousing adapter which mates the engine and the transmission. For the diesel engine industry, those are standard patterns.

You need to know the length of the t-34 input shaft, the spline count, and the diameter of the end of the input shaft for the pilot bearing. May involve some finagling of the proper clutch disc hub offset.

Get in touch with ihon member corey smith here on the forum, and also ihon member nicko.

Fwiw cory used the "matching" zf 5 speed (Ford truck?) on the 4bt conversions he did on his terra and nicko's Scout II -- no adapter needed as near as I can tell...

Both conversions are documented on the justih bulletin board.
