For Sale - Fj40 Om606 swap project

Considering selling my fj40 om606 swap project, I started piecing this together while everything was shut for Covid and got all the main pieces together and then things got back to normal and I haven’t had time to finish it. It is a mix of a 70 and 68 fj40 body parts with a later 4 speed...

Trying to bring this thread back a little bit. I just got an OM606 and am planning on charging ahead with this swap into my 40. Does the OM606 to Chevy adapter put the correct angle on the transmission relative to the engine?

The engine will be slanted like normal for the 606. As far as transmission clocking, I believe 40s and early 60s had the trans level but 85+ were clocked down a bit more (?). I have not seen these adapters on person but assume they are configured to have the trans level.

DPUK’s H55F adapter should work with an H41/2 or H55F if you combine it with the bell housing from an 2H series diesel powered 70 series. That’s what I’ll be doing for my swap. My adapter should be here in 2 weeks. I’ll bolt it all together and update here and in my build thread.
