Hi , currently in the middle of swap . 87 supercab 4x4 . 2.9L ,out , dash out . Firewall stripped inside and out . Front clip removed. Installing , 2006 4.0 L SOHC .
Donor cab , dash firewall is 2003. I see where the brake , clutch pedal assemblies will be an issue for installing the new dash .
The question i have today is . clutch and flywheel for 4.0 L , will this mate up to transmission , bell housing , stock from 2.9L ? The bell housing will bolt to the engine , the splines and pilot on the input shaft are the same, but the distance to release bearing doesn't seem to measure up . Has anyone done this ? Or is there another clutch that will work ? The flywheel thickness is the biggest difference . Can someone please tell me the thickness of the 2.9L flywheel for manual transmission as i no longer have it .
