"I had to put 2 pistons, bearings , and gaskets in a TM Mazda a couple years ago. The pistons were $400 each without rings, oil pan gasket $100, head gasket $100, etc."
Thank you for confirming the parts price insanity mrfixit!
They will scare the heck outta you at Yale parts Dept.
I think Piston rings were like $25....EACH.
Forget that BS....
On the gearing, I think it's close to the same believe it or not. I -think- both motors in the F/L application are used at 2200 max RPM....I'd like to confirm that on the diesel tho...
The good news is the /6 makes peak torque at 1600RPM.
Flywheel/TC adapter will be the biggest challenge of the project. I am hoping to use the Cast plate that was between the trans and the diesel on the /6 with some machining and modifications. If not, then a new plate altogether....
