I would love it if you kept a tally and list of where you got your parts and how much they cost for this conversion.
Will do.
So far:
Used RT6610 off Craigslist: $500
DT466 off Craigslist: $1000
RT6610 1.75" input shaft from FinditParts.com P/N S1255 $46.15
RT6610 15019 input cover from FinditParts.com P/N 15019 $47.69
RT6610 Key and Pin Assly from FinditParts.com P/N A3990 $6.08
RT6610 Overdrive Kit from Six States Distributing PN K-2019 $671.00 ***Finditparts sells the aftermarket version for $243.00, but were out of stock for a few months, which would kill the project, so I bit the bullet and ordered the genuine Eaton***
RT6610 Gasket Kit P/N K-1931 $21.99
New 14"x 1.75" Dual Disk Pull clutch assembly from Exchange Parts in Salt Lake City P/N EPNMU044-023-2A $433
Pilot bearing from Exchange Parts P/N BG305DD $8.83
CLUTCH ALIGNMENT TOOL -P/N EPHT175 $20.00
Flywheel Resurfacing $30.00
Shift Fork Bushings (2) P/N TC128c20 $10.66
All the above from Exchange Parts.- I found better deals out there, but these clutches are heavy and the shipping became a deal breaker.
MOTOR:
I called the local dealer and near died at the prices I was quoted, so I went out searching and found a few lower price suppliers. Then I did an e-bay search and found a company called "Highway and Heavy Parts" that was a new business. They only had 5 items sold prior to my order, so I took a chance and received the following:
DT466 oil pan gasket: P/N 671827C4 $15.86 plus shipping. (We'll talk about that in a minute.)
DT466 Rear Main Seal Kit P/N 1809964C92 $18.57 plus shipping
DT466 Front crank seal kit P/N 690437C95 $10.74 plus shipping
DT466 Valve cover gasket P/N 675109C3 $7.87 plus shipping
Each of the above parts had a flat rate of $12.99 each, which they initially charged me, but then refunded the difference from actual shipping. So all 4 parts shipped for $13.01
The parts are Interstate McBee and seem to be of good quality... time will tell.
Nut and Bolt Supply:
10 3/8"x2" Grade 8 bolts for pressure plate $5.36
15 3/8"x1.5" Grade 8 bolts for SAE bellhousing $7.81
I also bought about $50 worth of steel that will be used for custom motor and transmission mounts. Will probably need a few more things along that line.
That is it so far. I will try and keep this updated throughout the process.
Managed to install the rear main seal last night. What a job! Had to do it without the $375 special tool, so I will be running it after the flywheel goes back on, then pulling the flywheel back off to make sure its good.
