It fit fine as far as width but I had to cut and box the front crossmember of the frame to clear the oil pan. I used the swing pedals out of the truck the engine was in, as well as the master and clutch cylinders. I used the stock power wagon transmission, I had to get a different input shaft made to match the IHC bellhouseing and clutch. The T/O bearing sleeve bolted right onto the pw tranny. I then lined up the bellhousing and drilled new holes in the pw trans, tapped them, and bolted on the IHC bellhousing. I had to make new front and rear motor mounts. It even will clear the stock steering gear( by about a 16th of an inch. I need a different trans. however, my seals are gone and it has straight cut gears w/ no synchro, I have heard a NP 540 will work and give me overdrive, any thoughts?
