OM617 bellhousing bolt pattern?
OM617 bellhousing bolt pattern?
I am not keeping any of the stock body (making my 404 a dedicated off-road machine) and therefore do not need to use the expensive adapter that rotates the motor to clear the cab.
I have been told that the bellhousing of the 404 will bolt directly to the OM617 once the Unimog 404 backing plate is taken off of the gas engine, and bolted on the diesel. (Clutch and flywheel are a different story)
What I am looking for is either a picture, or picture with dimensions of the rear end of an OM617 so I can confirm that this 404 backing plate will or won't work.
Thanks for any help.
