JL,
Could i bother you for a measurement?
Next time you're out working on your project, I need a measurement of bell housing depth. Engine mounting face to transmission mounting face. It can be an approx measurement. It doesn't need to be exact.
I've been looking for a manual bell housing for a long time, but it seems the possibility exists to use an auto bell housing (along with an adapter) with an internal slave NV4500.
4D34 fact finding thread I have going at 4BTSWAPS:
Mitsubishi 4D34-1AT3 vs Isuzu 4BD2T
Great thread. I personally think the 4D34T is basically a big 3B. Everything is located in exactly the same location.
I have a spare bellhousing on a spare trans so it was a snap to measure. About 8 inches length, but with the spacer plate on the back of the engine, it would be a snap to remove it, and use it to machine an adapter plate to get the bellhousing down to a Chevy (or otherwise similar) pattern. That way you could use just about any trans you wanted. I think it would be a great engine for a 60 with an NV4500.
