The Pinto cable throttle setup, complete with accelerator pedal and brackets, works well. The frame bracket for the clutch pivot tube should be moved forward to match the engine movement. The original "needle type" pilot bearing must be removed from the Pinto crankshaft and replaced with the special pilot bushing supplied with the kit.

The original pilot bearing is best removed with the proper puller. Removal of the original pilot bearing should not be attempted with a punch, chisel, or by trying to collapse it by driving something between the bearing and crank bore.

The bearing race is much harder than the crankshaft and the bearing bore in the crank will surely be damaged if the proper puller is not used. This could cause problems when the conversion bushing is installed that probably would not show up until after the conversion is running. The bellhousing must measure 7" deep, front face to back face.

No other bellhousing will work with this kit. Be aware that the locating bore in the rear of the bellhousing may be out of location by as much as. Misalignment greater than. Unfortunately, few people take the time or have the necessary dial indicator to check for this misalignment.

Any misalignment that may exist is due either to faulty machining of the bellhousing by Ford, or damage to the bellhousing from an accident, if the engine was removed from a wreck. The attaching bolts and studs have been installed by us.

The four-stud-side goes towards the transmission. The side with the Novak name goes towards the engine as is held on the bellhousing with three hex-head bolts and the one long stud and nut. If the studs are removed from the adapter for any reason, it is important that they be reinstalled properly and that the studs do not protrude through the adapter. The Novak PC2 adapter.

It has been reengineered using an integrated steel throwout sleeve, an integrated T90 bearing retainer and is made from a billet of corrosion-resistant aluminum. Pinto bellhousings feature a plastic transmission shift rail oil seal. This should be removed to insure that the rear mounting face allows the adapter to sit flat against it.

It is recommended that the T90 front felt seal be replaced while it is accessible. Factory Jeep gauges work great with the conversion engine. The installer can thread the Jeep gauge sending units into the proper ports on the Ford engine. Common adapter fittings may be required, and are available from your local parts supplier.

Factory steering is not contraindicated for the conversion. Saginaw steering may be a worthwhile upgrade. Power steering is an option if one uses the power steering pump that is native to the Ford engine. For the purposes of the front springs, the engines are essentially the same weight. No changes need to occur here unless the springs are sagging and the Jeep sits too low. Maximum motormount clearance is obtained when using the 2" diameter fuel pump, if mounting at left front of engine.

If mounts are made that use any of the stock mounting pads, then either fuel pump will work. Electric fuel pumps are simpler and very reliable. One should be chosen that matches the pressure PSI requirements of the carburetor or injection system.
