OM60x to GM Manual Trans adapter?
OM60x to GM Manual Trans adapter?
I just visited with the chief machinist at work, brainstorming how to get a usable, repeatable set of dimensions for the bolt pattern and centerline.
We do not have a CMM, but we do have a rather large horizontal CNC mill. He thinks we can mount a block and crank on the bed of the mill, and use a probe to sweep in all the bolt holes and the crank. Then, we have a set of CNC friendly dimensions for making adapter plate(s) at a much lower cost than the numbers that have been quoted.
I'm excited about the possibilities here. I need to get my hands on an OM60x engine block and crank, and start taking measurements.

You guys are doing some very nice work, and presenting a lot of food for thought.
