as mentioned, that is the SAE adapter. The dodge conversion parts to use the cummins are very proprietary. Any drawings found on 'google' will be of the cummins in its natural environment; some kind of industrial use. Industry has agreed to specific bellhousing bolt patterns, all driven by SAE.
The dodge transmissions have the direct to cummins patten in the bellhousing, not needing the adapter. Fritolay ordered a bunch of cummins 4bt powered bread trucks which had a GM turbo400 adapter, much thinner than the SAE. This has since been knocked off and recreated for other transmissions as well. Evenso, the dodge unit can be built to be the strongest.
I'm putting together another comparison of cummins, gen IV 5.3, LBZ duramax, and the mighty 235 as time allows. I'll post some screenshots shortly.
