Yeah, the starter is on the opposite side. Which would require a Remote/Relocated Oil Filter and a notch in the OM617 Adapter Plate for the starter fit in place.
Or, I could remove the 617 Adapter and bolt on a Wide Block Adapter Plate from a 2.3TD/2.4/2.5TD/2.6 Mitsu (I have a spare plate from a 2.6, and the one from my 2.3/2.5 Turbo Diesel setup), which would have the starter cutout on the correct side.
If I use the Mitsu 2.3/2.4/2.5/2.6 Adapter Plate, I'd only have to relocate the oil filter and drill a Mitsu Flywheel for the 617 Pattern. Fortunately I could use a 2.3/2.5 Diesel Gear Reduction Starter with that setup too.
Of course that's IF the Input Shaft on the D50 5-Speed perfectly matches up to the 617. I won't know that until I get the engine into the shop to check everything. And that might take me a little bit of time, since my '92 D50 is sitting in the shop right now (installing new fuel lines, brake lines, hoses, shocks, etc)
