Hi everyone,
Firstly happy new year to you all. I have started to swap my old 2H engine with Cummins 6BT. 6BT is a really common engine here (in Turkiye), and easy to find parts for it. Also, the purpose of the swap is to find an engine that has lots of easy-to-find spare parts and can handle the towing of my one metric-ton offroad camper.
However, although Cummins is very common, it is so difficult to find a suitable transmission and transfer case for it. So I am going to use my H55F and transfer case in my project. I have good or bad ideas on connecting the tranny to the engine (probably using two flywheels and an adapter, (i think another bad idea =) ).
I know 6BT is a beast. Currently, I am detuning the beast a little bit.
The question is how bad this idea is and whether you have any foresight about what will go wrong. I think the first failure point is the clutch course. I am going to use the 2H clutch, and if in any wrong move probably, 6BT turns the H55F into a blender, and tranny oil turns to the gear smoothly.
Have an excellent year to you all again,
Thanks,
