nv4500 kit

Truck mechanic · 09-09-2008, 08:11 AM

Will this kit work with a 258 ? The trans I have came out of a diesel to replace the t90 that was in the truck from the factory. ( I had the bell housing machined to accept the t 19 )
Thanx Paul

Although we haven't performed a conversion behind a 258 I know it can be done as there are other companies selling conversions for this engine. However these other conversion kits use a Jeep bell housing so clutch linkage modifications would need to be performed. The new input shafts that we are working on are most likely going to have a larger pilot bearing so they may end up not working on the 258 engines.
