I apologize for the Double Post, but I figured you guys might find this interesting.

This is a "Wide Block" KM145 5-Speed Manual Transmission from a Dodge D50 4x4. The bolt pattern is almost identical to the OM617, with the exception of 2 bolt holes (one where the factory OM617 Starter mounts, and another that would have to be drilled on the Left Side toward the bottom). The oil filter would have to be relocated, since the Starter for a D50 is in that exact same spot.

I still have to verify if everything else matches up perfectly, that'll have to wait until I can get it in the shop for measurements. Since the day the engine arrived, I kept thinking "That looks like a mitsu-itchy bellhousing...like the one that was in my '84 and the one in my '92 D50"
