BJ40 conversion to chevy

[bcftc]

Looking for info on the availability of adaptors to convert a bj to handle a chev 350. Is there any other than advance adaptors? How much have I bit off on this project? I already have one bj40, with a b3 motor, but have far too little brains to stop and recently purchased another without an engine..

Any suggestions on this conversion?

Advance also makes a Ranger overdrive which plug up to a Toy 4 speed in the rear, Chevy 350 in the front, and spaces the motor forward so the fan sits just behind the radiator. Provides 27% overdrive. I just sold a used one in good shape for $250.

What is your location and is there anything wrong with the 3B diesel? I might be interested (even if there is problems)!

Somebody said that the front of a diesel tranny is different than the front of a tranny of a gas motored one. the AA adapter is only designed for gas. Might have to gut your 4spd and reassemble it inside a case from a gas motored rig.

Try Marks4WD out of Oz ( www.marks4wd.com ) for the conversion kit. If you are out of the US, you can deal directly with them, if you are in the US, you'll have to deal through Advance Adapter. They have a CSB kit for the BJ40 that lets you keep the factory 4 speed w/o changing input shaft.

Just FYI to cruiser_guy, his is the B engine.

Just FYI to cruiser_guy, his is the B engine.

I'm not too interested in the "B" engine, only the 3B ('81 or newer).

i dont think he is looking to sell his working 3b, just stick a new engine in his bj that currently has a gaping hole where an engine should be.
