Hey JC,,the guy I'm doin the work for told me that this engine is susspossed to bolt up to the Hyster bellhousing,,,,? I was just wanting to get a "something" to mount a starter so I can do whats needed to get this engine running.,,,but you got a dang good idea in that I should go take a real close look and get good measurements on the fork lift assembly first.
Hey Chask,,good to see you back,,Pardner ,,,hopin your ailmants are gettin under control,,,,  Yeah,Chask,, I had seen that bell housing on ebay but don't think it would fit as the two upper bolt holes appear to be way too close together than this engine,,, You know,,Steve,,I called the dude today and suggested maybe it be cheeper to just take the Hyster engine out and throw a cheep overhaul kit at the Hyster engine and KNOW everything would fit. THing is,,he was told this Ford was in good running shape (when parked) and he already paid for this engine,,,bout 5 months ago,,,,???

Joe you can start that motor with just that flat plate. I’ve started many that way. Go to the parts store and see what all 2 bolt starters will bolt up the same. You may then find one easier.
I’m using the 300-6 starter on my 351 w.

Yeah,,Thad,,that's what I'd really like to do to keep the costs down. I really doubt whatever bell housing I get to match this block is gonna bolt up to the Hyster transmission. I'm gonna go to the parts store this Am see if they have a plate that will bolt to the engine just for mounting the starter,,,,maybe I can float a loan from ole Shameless to buy it,,,,, |

How's about this one if parts store comes up empty. $33 + $18 to ship.

Back at the beginning of this ......  , adventure I was thinking Joe ant that big a sucker. But buying pieces just to start this little mechanical wonder............... ,maybe O'l Joe can be suckered. When the deep pockets guy  thinks this just needs a few bolts moved around,O'l Joe may have to shenanigan Deep Pockets into paying for extras.
I am guessing that the fork truck is still moving so you cannot just get the old bell housing to see for 100% that things fit? Since your in this far I guess you can tell him he needs a new starter for a new engine.

DJ wrote in a different thread he started.... just hooking his new post to his old link.
Well,,I had commented on wantin to help a friend out with his forklift but couldn't find the dang thread,,,so,,,here I go again. A
good friend has an older Hyster Model RT100 forklift that he was using
to move some old cars and trks around on his yard and the engine
finally crapped out. I had done a southern engineerin job on the
carburator as it was messing up and we could not locate a kit for it so I
made an "adapter" from the Hyster manifold to a Carter I had laying
around and it worked great till the engine crapped a couple of weeks
ago. The engine in forklift is a 6 cylinder gas Silver Diamond Model
GRD214.
Then he bought what they told him was an
Industrial Ford 6 cylinder that would bolt up to the Hyster
bellhousing,,SOO I tool that engine home and was gonna get it tuned up
and running for him to stick in the forklift. Flash forward,,the engine
is out of a dang Ford Pinto or some such and it was locked up and after 2
weeks of the Acetone/Atf,treatment ,it finally broke loose but it has
ZERO compression,,,rings prolly stuck really good and since it is NOT an
industrial ,,it will not even bolt up to the hyster bellhousing. I
convinced him to either overhaul the Hyster engine or find a used
replacement somewhere. Does anybody here know if any other
engines will interchange since the Hyster's are almost non-existing,,,?
Prolly parts for his are gonna be even harder to find as well,,,,,,
