Crankshaft Flange Spacer/Adapter

[JMRobins]

Do a little addition and tadaaaaaa

You may even have to machine the BMW flywheel to be able to bolt the red adapter to it.

The face of the BMW flexplate is flat, so hopefully I don't have to machine it.

I previously calculated this using ThePanzerFuhrer's formula.
.875-.570+.787-.401= .691"

That doesn't account for any of the dust shields that aren't going to be used. Should I add the .086 to the .570?

Where do the dust shields go?

Where do the dust shields go?

Between the bellhousing and engine blocks on both engines, behind the crank flange. Neither will be used.

Of course you count them

You ever drive the 335d? I have the 105hp tune on mine and it rips pretty good. I would love to have this engine in a pickup. Almost 375hp and 610ftlbs of torque. Take lots of pictures for me!!!! I get a bigger or dual cp3 kit and can get those numbers up to 405 and 690.

You buy a crashed car?

In europe the bmw m57 d1d2,d are pretty common engines and used much in the offroad scene. I had a 535D bi turbo one with orriginal 286HP (the alu version) for the buggy.

My brothers now has the 2.0 bi turbo diesel one in their buggy ( one of the first in benelux / europe i guess)

Does anyone happen to have the bolt spacing on the crankshaft for the Jeep 4.0 block?

I should have this at home, can post it later tonight if no one else does.

(I adapted a Ford SHO 3.0 V6 to a Jeep NSG370 using all the Jeep flywheel and clutch stuff, so I know what you're getting at 🙂 )

Thanks for the response. I'd definitely appreciate the bolt pattern info when you have time.

Sorry, thanks for the reminder!

Here's the drawing, the Jeep portion is the 3.75" bolt circle with one hole offset by 5 degrees:

The 2.68 on the right is the pilot for the flywheel, and the 1.82 thru is for the pilot bearing.

In my case the Jeep flywheel pattern overlapped the SHO pattern, so I had to do a two piece adapter:

Jeep part is on the right; the countersunk holes are to join the two pieces, the flywheel bolts via the threaded holes, pilot locates the flywheel, center accepts the pilot bearing, and the first half locates on that same bore for the bearing.

Going together:

The above one also has the adapter plate which was 1.25" thick, somewhere in there I compensated for the crank/bell offset difference like you were looking for, but I forget what the Jeep one was.

Probably a bunch of irrelevant info there but a hope a lil bit helps, good luck with it and keep us updated! Bunch of us on here with M57 cars so I'd like to see how it works out (mine is a '11 X5d).

Edit: in my case the starter bolts to the bellhousing, so it uses the Jeep starter as well. All the Ford stuff went in the scrap bin.

Thanks so much for the info! I really appreciate it. I'll make a thread when the time comes.

I've been really happy with this clutch setup, it's the upgraded one from AMS, I got it from Rockauto:

I had the same one behind a 4.6 stroker for years, always had great holding power while not being too aggressive on the engagement. Been in my SHO application since 2016 with no problems, even spinning up to 8k RPM

I might have to give that one a try. Thanks!
