My 280VO bolts to a M37 bellhosuing with the following mods:
1) bored out center hole to match bearing retainer index diameter
2) three new bolt-up holes drilled and tapped in bellhousing (one just happens to match)
3) pilot tip of input shaft shortened slightly and turned down from 1.00" to 0.75"
4) throwout bearing must match snout of input bearing retainer and still match throwout lever forks.
5) input bearing snout may need shortening

I have a 1-3/8" 10 spline input shaft, with a clutch disk to match, but stock pressure plate (beefed up for the extra torque so it won't slip)
The Hercules diesel kit is designed to "look like" a flathead from the rear so that the stock NP420 and all driveshafts can be re-used.
