Passed its smog. Now can transfer title.

I have driven it a little over 1k miles and averaging about 18mpg. I did not keep a extremely accurate record so this is approximate.

I am still on the 4.0l, still gathering parts. Just finished the next run of jeep adapters yesterday. Still need to run the crank adapters.

Trying to document before and after

Started to modify the toyota 4.0l harmonic balancer.
I have a broach on order to open up the key.

Bringing the thickness down close to the kubota hub thickness. It will fit the tier 4 motor nicely but the tier 2 motor looks like it may need a small spacer. Approx 1/4 inch so it doesnt interfer with the front cover.

I will also be drilling the 2 missing holes so a second pulley could be mounted.

I will be making a matching water pump pulley if anyone is interested. These will be listed on my site when they are proven out.

Plan is to run a single serp belt but may get complex and possibly 3 idlers to accomplish this.

Thanks
Ken

Out of curiosity, are you going to balance the whole rotating assembly once you are done?

Not planning on it. I will send the harmonic balancer out but but everything else is neutral blanaced. The harmonic balancer is the only piece I am modifying and it is neutral balanced originally.

Thanks

Well about a week ago i measured my stock crank and water pump pullies but apparently never post it. I have a tier 2 and a tier 4 motor sitting here.

The tier 2 motor had a 1.14:1 ratio wp/c
The tier 4 motor has a 1.17:1 ratio wp/c

I am will be making a 1.148 ratio putting my waterpump pulley at 4.8 inch.

Got a couple more hours in last night. Everything is unbolted. Just need to support the trans and rip the 4.0l out. I am going to get the kubota in the air and pull the ****** pan. Going to swap it with a bobcat pan temporarily, so it is closed up. Thenb I can proceed place the motor, build motor mounts and measure for the new custom pan.

Hopefully have it in the engine bay this weekend.

Thanks
Ken

Pulled the ****** pan and temporarily installed a bobcat pan and installed the transmission adapter. Didnt get a picture of bobcat pan.

Dropped the kubota in and got it bolted to the trans.

I didnt install the flywheel / clutch because it will be going in and out multiple times.

Clearance from ac condensor in oem location to fan hub is 13 inches.

I will clock the compressor housing later.
Stock motor frame mount will be moved back or completely remade but will still use the oem 4.0l rubber motor mounts.

Thanks
