Cummins in a ScoutII

[jmbrodsky@domain.elided]

John,

        From talking with the guy with the Cummins, he said it WAS NOT a 'drop 
in'.  He had to move the radiator 3" forward, and the diesel was STUFFED in 
there like no tomorrow.  Those engines are LONG and he said he had to make motor
mounts, tranny mounts, reroute every hose, and wire, and tweak the radiator core
support.  I should have my pictures back tonight, though I don't remember if I 
took some of the diesel.  I'll let you know.

Hey all still catching up on digest but:

I want to do (in future) like that guy in California who put in a 6at3.4
4-cyclinder cummings diesel and got 26mpg in town and 36-38 on the highway.
I saw pics on his site and it was a clean install and pulled whell offroad
as the guy said

My other buddie is working on a diesel conversion using a 300 perkins
diesel. They did some conversions in the 70s on the Ford f-250 and such. It
mates with a T-19 with no adapter as the bolt pattern is SAE.

 I heard about the guy at RMIHR who had the 5.9 Cummings from a dodge
truck. I want to see pictures. Anyone know how to reach the guy or have
some pictures. I would love to chat with him. (TOM M. tell me you have
photos of this guys rig or Joel B.  )

Anyone know of any other succesful swaps that were fairly straigtfoward???
