Hey guys. I have a BJ 70 with 3b diesel. It came with a PTO winch which I really like. Very powerful. Got me out of many stucky situations without breaking a sweat.
Now that my engine is kinda taking its last breaths, I want to swap with 1HZ turbo diesel. But I also want to keep the winch setup by not replacing the gearbox.
Mechanic says you can mate 1HZ with H55f gearbox by simply changing the bell housing.
Some questions:
1. Is it that simple to mate 1hz with 3b gearbox by just replacing the bell housing?
2. If I keep the same gearbox, do I need to change the rear diff as well to get better take of speed.
3. In case I swap the whole thing, 1hz engine with gearbox, can I mount PTO winch on it or not?
