any one have a template for drilling the bellhousing for direct electic start

   

Those templates are not correct, use this one.....
 

thanks you guys that is great i will get this all printed and then get it transfered to a piece of 10 gauge

Be aware that the template shown is for tractor flywheel housings. Graders and Industrial Housings are different.
You didn't specify which D318 application.

Mr. Old Magnet: I want to say BIG thanks for the information that YOU have provided MANY people over the years. I have seen your diagrams shared all over, but no credits to you.
How about one for a 311 engine next? Hahahaha! I have known too many that have tried and failed to get them "just right" and gunshy of any more. Don't forget to have a bunch of starter parts and glow plug heads available too! Thanks again, JM

The D2 templates have been out there for decades. No problems that I'm aware of. Again this is for tractors, I suspect differences for graders and Industrial versions where different flywheel housings are used.


 

Ahhhhh! Never seen these before. Thanks Pete! Only seen the ones for the 318's. If you had a dollar for each time you shared, you would be richer than you already are! Thx. JM

8t 3517 road grader

For the 8T, center is 3.625" Horizontal and 10.3125" Vertical, rest of the template is the same.
