M923 13 Speed Swap

Yes. All a2 trucks have longer transmission to transfer case shafts cause the engine sits about 14 inches further forward

Copy. So some of the components used would cross over, but not all of course. Ill figure it out.

Nothing would crossover. Maybe the clutch pedal setup. And transmission itself. Nothing else would work

If you looked at an a0/a1 truck right beside an a2 you’d see how huge the differences will be.
A&H recon shop in MA is who built the a2 I saw. The guy recently had it for sale on fb and the ad said he paid $10,000 to have the 8ll put in.

Got my clutch done today minus paint. Ready for a test drive tomorrow. I’ll try to get a decent video.

Anything different you would have done on your linkage? My self I'm doing some what the same and I'm down to the linkage and pedal? What size bar stock did you use and the aluminum piece on the floor is that something you machined or was it a existing component from something else?

The only thing I would do differently is get a little more leverage. I’m planning on fixing that this winter.

I used 3/4 bar stock for everything. It’s very solid feeling and doesn’t flex at all. I would be afraid to try anything smaller but I see no need to go bigger.

The piece on the floor is just a linear bearing.

Gotcha I picked up a chunk of ¾ for the horizontal and ⅝ for vertical solid cold roll, however being I'm running the larger 13spd I don't know if I want to flip clutch arm down like yours or up like standard set ups.

I know this was a long time ago and you probably covered it, but I’m unclear on a few steps.

your fuller bell housing bolted right to the motor bell housing and works because the input shaft is the right length to reach the pilot bearing, correct? Are all sae #2 bell housings the same length, or just bolt pattern? Do all sae #2 transmissions have the same length input and diameter shafts?

For the clutch:
It seems that you went with a twin disc clutch from the fuller, is this what you made an adapter for? My previous question about the shafts being the same leads me to ask whether or not the spicer clutch would work with the fuller trans. If not, why not?

I think this covers all my questions, sorry to bombard an old thread like that but you’ve done it before so I figured I’d ask.

thanks in advance
