PMC Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I am curious to know how the Chrysler V8's were attached to the transmissions in the R400 trucks? Did they use the Mack Trans with and adaptor or a Chrysler product? Thanks PMC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBWhite Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I'd just assume that it was a different transmission (not a mack) for gas models. But it could be a Mack trans. I think they had the standard SAE 11 bolt pattern which I'm assuming Chrysler would provide the adapting stuff for. Just guesses though. Very interesting topic.

Hans Remmers Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 There is one at gerhart's that's complete. The shows in a few weeks. Can look at it then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Weeks Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 My guess would be they used an SAE#2 bell on the engine. Chry used the 413 in their medium trucks until the bowed out of the market in the 70's. Still make medium trucks in South America last I knew. Since they would likely already have a #2 bell for their trucks and/or industrial market for the 413. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Weeks Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 some of those pic's look like it had a #1 and they used a #1-#2 adapter! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I got nothing this time. Sorry I’ve only even seen one in my life and that was 30 years ago or so good luck… bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I would be guessing it would be the same motor and transmission used on big block mopar/Dodge trucks in Australia No Eaton or Mack transmission, Turner or Dana But thats a pure guess and a custom bellhousing to suit the motor Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleclutchinweasel Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) Oh, and I think they only built 450 of these 413-equipped units (R410) between 1965 and 1970 (according to the Mack website). They also list 59 of the DM-410 made between 1966 and 1970. So, if the numbering system holds true, there are a handful of DMs out there with the Chrysler in them. All in all, these would be some rare pieces, and would make interesting collectibles.

mowerman Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Frankly, I would change the engine and transmission save a lot of running around and heart ache. Do you still have a big job ahead of you in adjustments but a fun challenge good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleclutchinweasel Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) Yep! Here is a DM with a 413! I think this is a 1966 model.

Vladislav Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 So is that a big SAE (#1?) housing with a round adapting plate? Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Weeks Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I does look that way, I can't be sure just from a picture. There are commercial #1-#2 adapters made and sold. With a #1 you should be able to put whatever trans you could find a clutch to match the flywheel. SAE spec determines the clutch depth. Flywheel and clutch would be the limiting factor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
