chevy cummins conversion question

[Burning Oil]

when you say that "it bolts right up to any gm tranny", what about the clutch, pressure plate, and fly wheel? will i need any "special" pieces other than the cummins/chevy bell housing?

does anyone know about the b3.3's? the guys on the link i provided earlier pointed out that the b3.3 weighs about the same as a small block V8 or an inline 6. this really has me considering a 3.3. does the 3.3 have the same back end as a 3.9?

Well, the clutch is inside the bell housing and the bell housing bolts to the adapter so it will work fine, make sure to get the crank "hub" spacer thing.
The adapter is not a bell housing. You will use the housing that comes with your trans.
I don't know anything about the 3.3

what about the extra length from the adapter? are there any issues with the length of the tranny input shaft? will i have to have a thicker flywheel to compensate for the thickness of the adapter?

i tried searching on ebay but didnt find anything. what should i put in the search box? the prices you listed scared me! how much do the normal used ones go for?

As long as you get all the parts that go with the adapter for a manual trans you will be fine. The crank Hub will give you the proper spacing. Actually I think all you need is the adapter and hub and I think one for an auto should work also. Your flywheel will bolt to it. One thing to make sure of is if your flywheel bolt patern is the same as the crank hub. I have one I can measure if you need.

at this point all my stuff is still bolted together so a measurement isnt needed at this time, but thanks anyway. i finally found the expensive adapters on ebay but still havent run across one of the used factory adapters.
