FJ60 om606 swap (1 Viewer)

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Thank you for checking on it. That makes sense and jives with what i’ve found online with regard to the different 3B housings.

Just for clarification, I now suspect the trans and bell housing featured in the product video came from a 1990+ european market BJ73, which isn’t really a “BJ” at all, such that it does not have a B series engine under the hood.

After doing some research, I found Toyota used VM produced 2.5l turbo diesels in that specific model to get around some silly EU regs. The bell housing sandwiched between that VM motor and the h55f w/ 10 spline shaft looks to be the same as the 1984-1990 HJ75 but without the tach sender as far as I can tell.

Looks like the adapter blocks off the RH side and opens to the LH side in a different position than what we are used to/available to us readily. So might not be an issue with depth and position of the starter, but would need to make a sheet/plate that matches and blocks off the "open" space the adapter would create below the starter on the LH side.

Oh man, if I could just use the 2f/3f bell housing I have in the truck now that would be awesome. I could easily make a plate to cover up the starter. So it sounds like shaft depth is fine, and would just need to swap the clutch fork and maybe slave cylinder, or otherwise finagle mine so that the travel is the same? Thanks TT for helping us figure this all out.

@joekatana or @orangefj45 would be two of the only ones I know that could confirm the VM 2.5 bellhousing and 2H, 3B and 1F patterns and depths are the same.

BJ73 and HJ75 spit out the same bell from 84-94 are all the same or superseded numbers regardless of engine in those models.

Yes the H55 from a Vm can also be used for 2H,12HT and 2 and 3F engines

Thank you Joe! I figured you would know this one off the top of your head.

Is the motor bolt pattern to bell the same on the engines as well?

No they use different belhousings

Sounds like these guys may need a couple if you have access to any,

Been sending 70 slider customers to you. Hope you've been selling some.

@joekatana If you have one of these bellhousings, associated release fork, and slave cylinder I would definitely be interested. Thanks for answering these questions.

 

[matubrembrem]

Same here

Still have a few sets left , shipping these days gets to expensive unfortunately.

Well crap, if you had wanted to use an R150f I would sell you the DPUK adapter and parts I have sitting at the shop. I got some bad information from Luke and ended up just continuing to use the one I designed. Over$1600 of adapter + a bell housing and all parts needed for me to convert the trans back to a full Toyota. I just didn't want to modify everything all over again to make it work. Laziness on my part. Great to see more of these swaps happening though.

Appreciate that, but really like the h55 and don’t want to fool with something else.

I totally get it. It would be a lot more straight forward for sure.

I might have two of those 3b h55f bell housings laying around, for sure I have at least one. I will check on the other one next week, if you guys are interested.

Unfortunately, we have determined that these are not 3b bellhousings that we need, but instead those for a VM 2.5 only used in euro market bj73s. Thank you for attempting to help! Much appreciated!

Ok, so I am coming up short on a bellhousing at the moments and even if I could find one I have note received a response from DieselpumpUK in two weeks. However, @LA Z has offered his assistance in the design and fabrication of an adapter plate from our stock bellhousing to the om606. But in order to design the plate he needs a 3d scan of a 2f/3f bellhousing bolted up to the h55 in order to reference the input shaft. I am looking for someone who could scan mine but have yet to find anyone. Does anyone have such a scan or the capability to create one? An additional piece of information that would be helpful is the exact size of the 2f 10 spline input shaft. I am searching for a more powerful clutch and cannot find any explicitly intended for the h55.

 

[DirtSniffer]

I may have missed skimming through, but have you considered using the marks 4wd Bell housing and a Chevy trans adapter? I have seen it done.

 

[DirtSniffer]

A few options really. Marks 4wd or advanced adapters Chevy conversion Bell housings, along with either doomsday diesel or speed gems Chevy transmission adapters for the 606. May be others.
