Engine Swaps

Posted by Tom from Ontario on February 28, 2005 at 11:38:42 from (216.183.141.181):

I am starting to get real interested in changing engines in tractors and pickups in smaller sizes, like B series Cummins into F-150's or Oliver(Cockshutt up here) type tractors that have a decent frame to stand up to this without having to build a subframe.
I see that our friends in the UK are pretty handy at this and I read about their Ford Transit trucks with a 4 cylinder diesel that can carry a ton at 50 miles per hour and still get 40 mpg. Is this true? The last thing I want is a honkin big Dodge or (fill in the blank) with an engine big enough to pull a train.
Back to the tractors. There are 1550 and 1650 gassers around that might be worth shoving another engine into and I don't mean big block Chev's, but something that stays close to original horsepower and is reliable in the field.
Your thoughts, please.
