[QUOTE="RJSStamps, post: 54263, member: 7242"] Well I am in luck! Turns out the guy gave me the diameter of the bellhousing and not the flywheel, which just happens to be the same as my couplers diameter. I left the Indy area last night (ok this morning early) at 2am and got back home with the new motor at 8pm after getting detoured to change a tire after she got stranded so I got home after dark and during a downpour. The engine is nice and dry in my Jeep Cherokee. Fun drive with 400 lbs back there! The Yanmar is a much lighter engine but same displacement. I could tell it was lighter driving home. Anyway I just need to see if these 6 holes line up, if not then drill new holes and bolt it up! The new motor should line up with 2 or three of the present possible engine mount holes in the machine. So I may have to add one hole to get the four mounts. After that, wire up the starter and solenoid and not that I need it now but the air intake heater. Wire the alternator and find a belt that fits it all. After that it's build the radiator support, mount it and hook up the hoses, put coolant an water in it and start it up! Seems simple enough :) Now one question arises, do these use a thermostat? If so whats a good temp to use? The old engine didn't have one and this doesn't appear to either.
