Deuce engine swap?

[Kfcrampage]

For a while I’ve been considering buying a deuce. But I don’t like the multifuel engine they came with in M35A2s.

My dad said he worked with Cummins for a little while and on their test track was a v903 twin turbo engine swapped deuce. So it was kind of ridiculous.

But I was wondering if it’s possible to put an 855 Big cam into a deuce? It seems most people opt for the 5.9 but I’m just curious if anyone has tried or know if it will fit.

Why not just get a 5ton with an 855 already in it?

The 855 will not fit in a deuce way to long

Just thought more fun power to weight ratio

You can retrofit anything just depends how much time money and effort you want to put it. Engine too long stretch the nose. Engine too fat tubs out on the fenders etc Just depends on your modification appetite

The 6cta is supposed to fit well.

A c or b series will fit well, why not poke at your dad and put in a cat engine. just opt for a high hp model not the 190 and under that the a-3 uses, I always thought a dt 466 would fit in nicely too.

Your money and time.
Let us see.....
consider
42 bucks an hour labor
75 bucks an hour shop time

Calculations indicate one should go to dealer and buy a Raptor with everything, stay clean and have bucks left over to take her to dinner.

Or stay home together for a home cooked meal because your hands are still clean.


Just a thought............................

The Canadian deuces had 6V53 Detroits in them .

I also heard they had 8.2 fuel pinchers in them, I assume he wanted to ditch the multi fuel so he didn't have to wear double hearing protection. The road oiler would also require double hearing protection, but there is no sexier sound than a 2 cycle jimmy on start up.

Given the inclination and enough money and time and expertise you too can run in excess of 11000 horsepower, see

Or you could just have a Deuce with a multi fuel which will burn various fuels,
(including 100% NEW motor oil), not complain much, has no electronics, one fuse, will always start and run and lasts long long time GI.
Can put three tons of steel in it and drive across plowed fields and up mountains.

Is is for the decisions of each individual to get what they want.
Do you really really want to work that hard?

8.2 fuel misers, for sure.

I worked on the Canadian Deuces for 20 + years and they have the 8.2 litre V-8 engines in them. They also have an Allison MT643 ( I believe) automatic transmission. The engine was a high speed diesel, red lined at 3250 RPM and gave our deuce a top speed of 90Km, give or take a few.

DT466TA with the 540 sleeves gets my vote.
