JP521 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hi!Im thinking about to get a L engine, pointing to a L20B in the best case, but if i get a L16 or L18 will be OK. But this is the problem, is posible to couple the R4W63 transmission that come with the J13 engine to any of these engines? or should i necessarily put the transmission "F4W63" if i'm not mistaken? But I want to keep the columm shift thats sure. Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 the J motor has a different bell housing.. the l-series is going to need the F4w63 or other l-series trans. you might be able to fashion some sort adapter plate so you can retain the stock trans with the column shift when you go to the L motor.

datzenmike Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Look for an L motor with a transmission and make a hole in the tunnel for the shifter. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Or take the front case from the L-63 and use it with your J13 transmission. It's too bad the L16 doesn't just bolt right in. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Unfortunately the L front case is pretty much everything but the tailstock and I don't think it has any provision for the remote shifter which comes in from the side. ? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Wait ... I have one in the bed of my pickup. ... you are correct, there is no front case. Just case + extension. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 If you look on the case down near the bottom pan there are round castings on each side. I think these are machined out and a shift rod run through from side to side to mount the shift forks on. ?? Quote Link to comment
