8n with chevy 4.3 v6

[profire31]

I was told that this modification can be done by basically only having to use an adapter plate (assume bell housing). I have tried to find some infor on this and didn"t have any luck. Figured if thie info was true you guys would know all the details. thanks for your time.

Not that easy! Your tractor front axle is supported by the engine/cast iron oil pan combination, so those types of conversion require some sort of sub-frame to support the front end of tractor. View a few conversions........you will spot the sub-frames.

Several years back there was an outfit on the 'net (maybe ebay as well) selling the adapter plates/front frames for the Chevy V-6's.

Something "Powdercoat", something or other out of AZ, IIRC.

They seem to have disappeared. Anyone have any more information?

That is neat, but I wonder if the front pump drive kit for the Dearborn loaders was overlooked...grin
