I'm working on a DIY 30kW natural gas generator using a Toyota 2F engine and need to determine the correct bell housing pattern to match it with an available SAE flange size (#2, #3, #4, or #5). From my research, SAE #3 or #4 seem to be the most common for medium-sized industrial engines, but I’m unsure which one would be the best fit.

Has anyone here worked with a similar setup or knows the exact SAE flange size that would match the Toyota 2F? Any guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

None of them. 2F doesn't use SAE pattern as it mounts behind the flywheel.

I would use the bell housing, clutch and starter. Make an adapter plate to fit the bell housing with like recessed allen head bolts. 1/2" to 1" steel or aluminium plate ought to work. Then drill and tap holes to fit your generator pattern. Then make a shaft to connect the clutch splines to the generator input shaft with proper power rated flex coupling. It would handle any reasonable alignment issues.


You should be able to rig a lever to disengage the clutch using the fork and throw out bearing.
 
It might be easier to use a 3-speed bellhousing off an F engine...

He ignored that suggestion I made in his other thread where he asked the same question.
