starter wont fit
 

so im in the process of putting a nv5600 behind my 12 valve that used to be an auto and i have the engine and trans together but the starter runs into the ring gear on the fly wheel when i try to put it in just wondering what might have gone wrong. it seems like the ring gear is closer to the engine now than when i had the automatic set up connected to the engine

Need a spacer. You could probably get one from the dealer, or call Southbend. I needed one when I put my dual disc in.

NV5600 with 4.88's, wow, what house do you want to drag down the road. I'll assume some 225/70-19.5's on that beast, too.

as stated, dealer or Southbend, pretty common part.

thanks for the replies i cant get a hold of anyone at south bend and the dealer said they didn't have a spacer but i could make one myself if i knew the correct width the spacer should be. anybody have that info?

im in the same boat, i got one coming from the local cummins dealer... the parts guy this morning told me that it was 14.5 mm thick.

can anyone confirm the thickness or maybe have the part number from the dealer?

If getting one from the dealer make sure you ask for the year truck w/ the 6spd in.
I would suggest calling your local cummins dealers
And I think it was .5"
