Check with Lokar,TCI and such for custom mounts/cables that will work with the rotating throttle body the engines use with throttlebody body mounted forward.....maybe something V-8 like TPI.
Thanks Doug <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I'll talk with my tranny guy about that tomorrow. He called today to say my trans is ready for pickup. I found someone local, who came recomended, and he happened to have the exact trans I need, already rebuilt. He upgraded the servos, and added a shift kit and TC for $750 with no core.
I've been talking with Jerry Lemond a bit lately about this swap. He's pretty sure we can find a stock Isuzu flex plate that will bolt up with minor modifications. He's going to be at Uwharrie next month with a selection of TC's and flex plates. I'll have my new TC, and we'll mix and match, and take some measurements. I'll also be picking up my Dana 300 at Uwharrie.
I'm going to try my luck at using a stock adapter to mate the T-case and trans. I've read a couple of posts on Pirate about using a stock adapter from a full size with a NP208, which uses a 5 bolt pattern. This adapter matches up with 5 of the 6 mounting bolts for the Dana 300, and the 6th can be made to work. Considering I can pick up this adapter for $30, I think I'll give it a try before I buy a $450 adapter kit. The Dana 300 output shaft will need to be changed regardless, so I just need to find a place that sells it separate from the kit.
