Awsome work on this!! Have any more Pictures of the Engine like the Exhaust Manifolds/Headers I am very much considering a 6G74 Swap SOHC 24v 3.5L for the Montero (some swap issues will be removed because of it being RWD configuration to begin with I hope)\

 

PS engine looks awsome! too bad they dont make turbos that spin the other direction so it would be more symmetrical lol Maybe can get some Aussie turbos :P

there is a difference in starter rotation that has been asked about , when you do a reverse starter application, its good to know you rotate the enging in the proper direction

I must have torn apart 50 starters looking for length and direction

I hated the first starter location, there were two problems with it, first in didnt set the starter between bellhousing bolt boses and relied on only one main bolt station to limlt and deflection in the starter, the other problem was special shifter linkage would have been required

http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72adapterC4bellhousing22.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72adapterC4bellhousing24.JPG

because of the depth of the starter gear, I had a choice. build a custom gear or build the starter body right into the bellhousing, well I hate custom parts, all these parts are available over the counter so I spent the time to place the front of the starter pocket into the bellhousing

Haha but they do make "reverse" turbos. Look for an MHI "R" turbo (td05HR, td06HR).

I spend HOURS sanding and shaping and adding and removing material gettig the shape I want

the diagonals are not just for looks, they absorb the twist in the housing and are overlapped to the daigonals on the outside of the housing to keep the overall width of the bellhousing wall about 3/8 inch

I keep trueing the surface flat on the engine side to provide a good datum

http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72adapterC4bellhousing61.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72adapterC4bellhousing62.JPG

then I keep using the engine block as a guide to keep everything as straight as I can

http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72adapterC4bellhousing63.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72adapterC4bellhousing64.JPG

the starter pocket was all detailed out

http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72adapterC4bellhousing65.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72adapterC4bellhousing67.JPG

I keep using the datum dowel pin I built in the first phase of the build to center the trans side

http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72adapterC4bellhousing68.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72adapterC4bellhousing69.JPG

the interior of the housing worked out very nice and everything lines up correctly

http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72adapterC4bellhousing70.JPG

the diagonals will show up better after casting, I like a little detail so I know my work

http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72adapterC4bellhousing72.JPG

Its pretty close

Finally getting back to this - changed jobs and I am not on the road every single week any longer. Woohoo!

 

Anyhow, here is how she stands now. And with Bill and his amazing work, now it's about time to tackle the transmission. :) Got the intercooler mounted, had to mod all the piping because I mounted a tad higher than the previous car, but I am able to maintain the bumpers integrity this way, and that was important to me. Got the radiator temporarily in place with zip ties and will work on the permanent mounts soon.

I can't put a number to the time involved but I need to build it in kit form and figure out what it will cost, I have some new dies for my equipment being built now so I can do the job better/faster

 

This will come with the starter, housing and flexplate sooooooooooooo If I was a betting man I would put it in the $600.00 range but there is a lot more coming, the water pump conversion is needed for this engine for this to work and I have a few suprises

the original starter motor arriangement on all these starters are just two bolts, I have changed that to use all 4 bolts to attach the starter to the sandwich plate

http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72adapterC4bellhousing110.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72adapterC4bellhousing114.JPG

because of weight and drafting considerations, I knew a plate would have to be placed in the starter placement so a bolt could be attached to the rear of the starter motor
