Talk to your Detroit dealer. There are a number of different bell housings and flywheels for the 71 series. All 71 series share a lot of common parts, especially the in-line engines. Also, you need to see if the direction of rotation of the 2-71 is correct. They come in LH and RH configerations. I know that, since they are two stroke, they can be relatively easily reversed, but I never got that far into one. They are relatively easy to work on. Get you a 71 series parts, service and repair manual. Used parts used to be relatively easy to find, but but since they have been discontinued, they will probably be a little harder, depending on the area. Truck salvage yards are a good source. Also, get you a good supply of hi-temp sealer, as they are well known for leaking oil. The serial number will determine the approximate date of manufacture, and will determine if it is a lo-block (flat head gasket) or hi-block, which uses o-rings instead. The hi-blocks are the later N-series, which develop more power, but if get hot, it'll cook the o-rings almost every time. The 71 series was developed in the late 1930s, and were disc ontinued about 10 years ago because of environmental restrictions. They were good engines in their day.
