I have been toying with the idea of transplanting some kind of dsl. into an F-350, I would like a power stroke but I hate payments and I like a challenge. I saw a 354 perkins with a turbo transplanted once which was a good puller, what else would work. Deutz? 400 series IH? any body got any thoughts/ideas? I want it for pulling my gooseneck, my 92 F-250/ 460ci takes enough gas!!

My neighbor has a 3-53 Detroit in his 60-something International pickup. I don't think it has much pulling power, but sounds kind or neat coming down the road. Sounds like it's doing 60 when it only doing 20.
Back in the mid-70s, before there were any full-size diesel pickups, there were some pretty neat kits around for conversions. One was for a six-cylinder Nissan turbo-diesel with all parts needed to bolt into a Chevy. I had an IH Scout with a factory-installed diesel that was also Nissan, but four cylinder. Then Dodge made one for one year in the full size truck - I think it was a six-cylinder Misubishi around 1978. Now, with all the factory made diesel pickups, I don't see much innovation or engine swapping anymore. I suspect that, for what you want to do, weight will be a factor. Most HD diesel engines with enough power for what you want will probably be pretty heavy.

I once saw a mid to late sixties IH pick-up with a diesel from a 1206 tractor. It was a snug fit, but it did go in, turbo and all. The owner was vey happy with how it ran.

deutz wont put heat into a heater core since its aircooled. might not be important for a farm or ranch truck, but if you need a defroster you'd be s.o.l.

Duetz runs the engine oil into the heater core on the cab tractors. So all may not be lost ?
