The GM 90° to OM617 adapter will marry any 90°-pattern GM manual or automatic to the Mercedes OM617. The crankshaft adapter replicates a pre-86 GM crankshaft with the 3.58" bolt pattern. If using a newer SBC-style transmission like the 4L60e, you'll simply need to use a flexplate from an older SBC with the larger pattern.
SPIN that engine!! This kit uses the GM 6.2/6.5 diesel 2.5KW starter designed for the 21.5:1 V8. Wondering how to make this starter work with your gasser transmission? See the instructions for the parts compatibility. Be sure to get the matching starter, as they are different for automatic vs. manual.
