There is a 75 D150 power train for sale here in Kingman. It consists of the 225 ci /6 , flywheel, pressure plate , disk , bell housing and 4 speed over drive . My question is , will the flywheel, pressure plate and disk work in my '82 D 150 Miser. The engine is a solid lifter type I believe and I seem to remember that the hole in the back of the crank is different.
By the way I now have a '73 b 100 /6 three speed Van and a '80 Volarie 4 door with 45.K on it . /6's rule !

The parts you ask about all fit. The small cranks pilot is '67 and older. The engine itself fits too. The parts on the '82 that are different involve the hydraulic clutch release (and include the bellhousing and fork), but I'm guessing you knew that.

That actually depends on the truck's "package", I've taken a lot of non-hydraulic clutch parts out of trucks in the local yards lately that have been in 1980-1983 trucks (the bellhousing and fork in my clutch conversion came from a 1983 D-150 and it was all mechanical actuation).

So always check the donor and compare to the recipient vehicle just to be safe...but if your truck is a 1982, all the stuff from the 1975 will bolt up if the holes are there for the brackets.

Yes, it all depends. We have 3 1985 trucks in our stable. One has a 904 but the 2 others are factory 4 speeds. One is hydraulic and one is mechanical.

Yeah, I should have added "If it's hydraulic then...".

The other thing about the "hole in the back of the crank". While all 68-up engines had the large crankshaft pilot, not all (many automatic trans engines) had the hole bored for the large oilite pilot bushing. So if you're going to put a stick-shift in an automatic car/truck engine that won't take the bushing, you need a special pilot bearing that fits the torque converter snout pocket- Mopar had them & others should as well.

You can go 2 ways on this application, if you find you have a crank with the hole for the pilot bushing, but it is unmachined (i.e. is cast but not drilled...very typical in the cast crank engines...my beater valiant 1979 cast crank was this way).

You have 2 choices:

1) you can run a dodge dakota (3.9,5.2L) bearing that fits in the crank pocket meant for the torque convetor...or...
2) NAPA used to have a "problem solver bushing" that you can loc-tite into the hole (I used red thread locker...most suggest green at a minimum).

#1 is easier to get now and comes in regular and needle bearing styles...

Don't forget to put a little bit of grease in the pilot bushing pocket upon installing the transmission to keep the bearing and input shaft nose lubed.

P.S. there is also option #3 in having it drilled by a machinist, but that is much more expensive and time consuming than #1 or 2....
