I wanted to test fit the G56 trans to a extra cummins i have. Southbend had mentioned the FE clutch and flywheel would fit my first gen trans adapter..but I was going to be using the longer 2nd gen trans adapter. I test fit it and it all seemd to be ok.. the starter seemd to mesh when i pulled the gear out..

I made up some nice Dowels to thread in the crank to help position the flywheel with out dropping it on my face ha.. They worked real nice ..basically cut the heads off the bolts and cut a slot for a screw driver.



I then removed the interior to cut a bigger trans hole. I discovered the previous owner had cut right thru the floor heat ducting ha.... i'll have to make some new ones. I plan on adapting / fabbing up a removable trans hump cover etc.
