Hi folks. Recently I got an OM617 diesel engine that I would like to put in my FJ40 but having a hard time finding an adapter plate to keep the 3 speed transmission (I would like to keep the 3 on the three config).
Initially I was going to do an SBC swap so I got the Chevy to 3 speed Toyota plate from AA. Now I wonder if there is a straight adapter plate from the Mercedes to the Toyota 3 speed, or if the Mercedes to Chevy bellhousing adapter from 4x4 labs, then Chevy to 3 speed from AA will work (I know, is a Frankenstein situation, and probably a dumb question).
Here is the situation I would like to check:
OM617 -> 4x4 labs adapter -> Chevy bellhousing -> AA 3 speed adapter -> Toyota 3 speed transmission
