Interestingly, it looks like the TDI will fit very nicely using the factory F134 driver's side offset. It should ensure plenty of oil pan...
@Daryl Perfect, thank you.
Happy New Year everyone! I am working on positioning the TDI/T18/D18 combo in my A1 so I can begin to fab up a trans crossmember and engine...
Agreed, clutch is the next big hurdle. There aren't many clutches available with the 15/16"-10 spline hub, especially in the neighborhood of...
Thanks. That is my line of thinking too. From my research, a T18 retainer "should" bolt right up.
Hi all. I have really started digging into my '52 MD and it has been one surprise after the next. I took on the project with the intent of...
Caster on leaf sprung suspension is adjusted via wedge shaped shims between the spring pad and the spring itself. I'd look for a different shop.
You are correct in that the T14 should have a bearing retainer that mates to the 4" index bore of the later Dana 18 and the Dana 20 transfer...
Yeah, that became immediately apparent when I saw the rear of the T14. The retainer could be used as a starting point to machine down to fit the...
Interesting idea. I still have the blown up T-14 that came with the big hole t-case. There appears to be a 4" indexing ring of some sort on it....
If I can't track down a T18 adapter plate economically, what are your thoughts on turning an adapter ring that would step up the size of the small...
Thanks for the lead.
It’s definitely a T18. After scraping the crud away the adapter is stamped T98. Looks like whoever did the swap did some mix and match from the...
Thanks for validating my concerns. Just bolting it up is off the table. Now I either need to find the different plate, fab up a ring, or swap...
The plate definitely unbolts. I just can't find any information, let alone pictures or part numbers of the plate that works with the large hole 18...
Hi everyone I am trying to figure out how I can piece together a functioning drivetrain for my '52 MD out of what parts I currently have. I could...
This. Or a small industrial diesel. Or maybe that crate LS 4cyl I keep seeing advertised :). Right now I am trying to get it back to a solid...
It haven't run it for about 8 months and drained most of the water out of it when I stripped it down to the frame/drivetrain. At the time the oil...
I am the current owner of the MD in the video. The guy I bought it from (who posted the video) was very honest about all the issues it had, but is...
