Jonnymac348 10-11-2012 04:29:15 68.9.29.13 Report to Moderator	I was wondering to pick anyones brain I am looking into putting a 6bt 12 valve cummins into a International 350 tractor. I know you can buy or make the adapter plate and have to change the fly wheel. Was wondering if anyone knew what would need to happen with the front end mounting to the cummins. Assuming you would have to make new mounts. and was wondering if the front end would mount back again on the stock spot behind the oil pan where the pivot ball is with no modification or what would need to be done. what kinda flywheel should i use or buy. Any and all help would be much appreciated. Jon [Reply]   [No Email]

Just think it would be cool and be really nice to do it. would deff be different. you wouldnt happen to know what the rear internals are estimated/ rated for hp wise. Uncle henry thanks i will deffinatly start looking in that direction for a motor. They sell an adapter plate on ebay with a different fly wheel to make this work supposedly you know anything about that and whats needed for a clutch or what i can i use for a clutch. Leaman tractor parts offers it the adapter. [Reply]  [No Email]

That's way too much engine for that. Tranny input shaft, gears, final (ring and pinon) and axles will all become sheer "bolts". Rick [Reply]  [No Email]

I can build some rail for it tie them into the existing front end mounts and front weight bolts. Making notes make rails, extend tins, extend steering. [Reply]  [No Email]

The T/A and Trans drive shaft will now become your drive line shearbolt. In reality, the engine would be worth more than the rest of the tractor. [Reply]  [No Email]

I love impossible task to make something different from the norm and make it better this is what i do everyday. I could do it going in blind with a small concept but rather learn from someone else problems they might have encountered then my own if this is the route I go. [Reply]  [No Email]

A 4bt MIGHT fit in there... [Reply]  [No Email]
