Yes, in order to adapt the 6 speed, I cut the flange off the A440f bell housing and welded it to 6er. This allowed it to bolt up, but pushed the trans, and thus the input shaft, rearward 1". There may be additional info about somewhere in thread.
The t case was chosen for the ratio, gear...
I still have the HZ bell housing, there were some issues, I'll have to look over it again. The 151 housing would help. We may be able to move it forward this spring.
Just got the beast inspected and it's good to go. The drivetrain combo is working very well. On road the engine has plenty of go to comfortably pull the the truck on 37"ers up any hill w/o dropping speed, and since the 6 speed is close ratio, it always seems to have the right gear ratio. Off...
Sorry guys, life happens... I'll get some pics up asap. I did take it out for some minor wheeling, the Orion low range is great. The engine does have a throttle tip in bog on occasion, but it seems to have diminished a bit, which leads me to believe it has to do with something electrical. With...

It's alive and driving....Took it for a good rip down the road today to help get the rings to seat, the only way to really do it well is with some decent cylinder pressures, and we all know how to get those.
Some thoughts...
The exhaust sounds sweet, but is WAAAAYYYYYY to loud under...
Cable shift conversion for 2/4WD on the Orion.
A picture of the cable for the H/N/L range is somewhere in the last page or so.
Again, these are shift cables and modified brackets from a Suzuki King Quad produced 1987 to about 2001. These items are all over ebay.
Yup, it's running great... the dual exhaust sounds awesome, very much like an E36 BMW M3. I can't wait to go break it in good and hard. I'll get some pics up, maybe a sound clip or video eventually.
