The powerplant combo is a 1974 Dodge 318 truck engine, a 1960's Dodge truck poly bellhousing, and short tail NP435 with a driver's side PTO opening and large U-joint pinion:) I still need to tear it apart to figure out how the previous owner connected the LA series engine to the polysphere bellhousing/flywheel/trans. The crankshaft should not be long enough - spacer maybe? I'll post the results. This looks to be a simple way to convert to a V8.
Now to find a NP 435 shifter handle at a reasonable price and a Chelsea 352 series PTO . . ..
I didn't want to send my pictures to those mentioned on the past forum w/o asking first. Any volunteer to post the 3 pictures? Thanks.
