MN | I'd pressure lube your bearings with either engine or hydraulic oil in a sealed carrier and make your bearing carrier out of some very heavy wall tubing with machined endplates to retain the bearings and hold the lubrication oil in. I'd guess a regular sealed bearing wouldn't last long in that application, but maybe it will
Should be able to find the SAE spec for flywheel housings. Basically it's just a diameter and depth measurement. I'd doubt Detroit would have the number casted onto it.
Here's something I found with a quick search http://www.depco.com/upload/flywheel_70957.pdf You may want to check a couple sources for the dimensions online.
A keyway and taper bushing would probably be the simplest way to connect the engine to the input.
One major issue is I don't know if the LCD coupler will allow enough misalignment now that the engine and transmission aren't moving together as one piece. If you look at a CIH 4wd and others they have a shaft with U-joints to reduce the problem with misalignment. Or maybe use a quill shaft.
Of course all of this is just a guess, and I'm not recommending you do any of it. I don't know for sure if it would work or not.
Good Luck! | |
