Deuce Repower

[engineer233]

How hard would it be, or would it even be possible to swap out the LDT-465 with a Cummins 6.9 , or a small Cat engine ?

Cummins 6.9?

If you do a forum search you will find that the options have been covered many times in the past.

And why would you want to do that?

Mudgpuppy nailed it. Reliability, and more power. The cummins engine I can get is out of a 2004 dodge 3500 truck. I also have a good friend that can get me a cat 3208 fairly easy. I did search the forums and jst didn't find anything on the small cummins swap. Maybe I didn't look in the right place . If someone covered this b4,please tell me here I can find it .

^^^ The Cummins swap has been covered quite a bit, but that was for a mechanical engine. I dont think you'll find much on the computerized version. Anyway, search away and you'll find plenty.

It's a 5.9, right?

Stay away from that yaller motor......they are hell when they are well but a sick pussy will cost you a lot of money.

A cummins 5.9 is the best choice IMO. They run forever and there is tons of aftermarket support if you want more power. A Cat would be more trouble some.
