multi fuel engine in m1008

[CUCVLOVER]

I came up with the idea of putting a multi fuel diesel engine in my m1008 I don't know which one or really anything about these engines I just saw one in a old Kaiser jeep truck
If anyone has done this please chime in
Thanks

It'd be a very tight squeeze if it can be done!

You know there really isn't much that hasn't been talked about here.

A search for mutltifuel in the CUCV forum comes up with this:

That is probably the easiest way to go about it, but I'm sure it isn't what the op meant.
Im sure it can be done. Someone on YouTube put an 8v92 Detroit diesel in an old K30.

I'd post a link if I knew how. I can do a lot of things, but computer wizarding isn't my thing.

A multi-fuel will add around a 1000 lbs more on the front axle than a 6.2

What about the multi fuel engine Kaiser put in some jeep trucks?

 

[Jeepsinker]

Never heard of it. Are you talking about the 3-53t Detroit that was in some M715 series trucks?

That must have been what it was
And they just said it was a multi fuel.

Was that a good motor ?

Are you talking about a Kaiser Jeep Deuce? THAT truck came with a multi-fuel engine.

It was the pickup. My dad seen it somewhere on the old interweb for sale and he said the add said it had a multi fuel engine. But it probably was the diesel engine some of them had and they just said it was a multi fuel you know just as well as I do some people just don't know the difference

Did any company ever make a four cylinder multi fuel? It doesn't have to come out of a truck it can be a generator engine or something like that. It there is not any type of engine like that. If not I guess I'll just ask for couple of injection pumps for Christmas keep them under the seat (I've always got enough tools to rebuild the motor in the truck) and I just add a few fuel filters and maybe get injectors with bigger holes in the end and just filter and fix fuels if the time ever came I had to

It's like my first fisherprice army truck here.

It would be a good idea to see what you are trying to achieve? What are your plans or thoughts? That would help a bunch. Anything like this can be done with a large budget,

You could maybe use one of the White four cylinder engines from one of the Mep 004 generators. I think they are only rated for around 60 horses though. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
