Need advice on adapters for the air cleaner housing or tubes.
Background:
Swapping out motors https://www.heavyequipmentforums.co...0-Single-Axle-Dump-Truck-w-Allison-MT653-Auto
Donor is Ford. Bad motor is IH
Ford has a threaded rod center post like passenger cars and trucks, while the IH has a bolt down flange with a neck to connect to.
The inlet manifolds appear to be the same otherwise.
Question/thoughts:
Options I am considering:
Using the IH bolt-down somehow secured by the center bolt. This would save having to change out the manifold and possibly creating other work and expense.
Or- just change the manifold and new gaskets.
Any thoughts would be welcomed.
