Replacement Cummins Engine

[mettisse]

Found a Y... Tube video by a company called Jonesies, and this Amercan company fits a Cummins engine into a j80, they do a very smart, professional job, I really enjoyed the vid. The engine they use aparantly is very common in USA, it's the same engine as used in the old series DAF 7.5 ton trucks. I had one, it was very impressive, heaps of power/ torque, 6.9litre, old tech,
trouble is I gave it away(scrap) the Lorry was no good but the engine was fine,
i regret it now, I have a pal who has such an engine in a Dodge Ram 4x4 off road camper. The thing absolutely flies, and so does the 80 in the vid.
Trouble is I'm thinking about it too much now, I can feel a transplant coming on, the company sourced bell housings and adopters, the lot. The only thing I don't like is the sound of the exhaust, like a Lancaster on tick over , I'll dream on....

Having just done a bit of a google, that would appear to be the engine that's in my favourite lorry at work, it fly's! It's got so much get up n go compared to the rest, its referred to as the ferrari or silver bullet. Do it!

That is incredibly tempting, I have always had a soft spot for Cummins engines, them and Cat.

Well I did consider putting a 1hd in a Defender but I thought Trev would have a fit.
