Anybody got it? I need it to make an adapter and would rather not measure it myself unless I have to

I didn't know that, the 2.9L V6. It's a 1986 truck if that helps

You're right, my brain was going faster then my fingers. All I need is the bolt pattern of the 2.9l v6 so that I don't have to make this new bell housing. All I'm doing is pulling the engine and trans out of my truck and reinstalling the trans with a Mercedes OM617

I've read it, I'm hoping that the Ranger's flywheel is heavy enough to use on the Mercedes engine if not I'll make a heavier flywheel. For me it's easier to make a new flywheel then a new bell housing
