M35 powered by 5.9 cummins

[CliffW]

I did a search and I saw some of post on the 5.9 cummins in the m35a2 and it got me thinking. Are there any detailed pictures out there of the set up? How hard would it be to do the swap? Will it hook up to the trans motor mounts ect.Does any one on here have on? Any help would be grate.

Being there was one on a Goverment auction site!
I take it that the Military convert/tested a few M-35's with the 5.9L.,
Does anyone know how many and how long ago this was done?

There was some talk awhile ago about a member who had/supposedly had kits to install the 5.9

 

[doghead]

I think I recall that person sold the kits. I can't remember who though.

M-series rebuild in NC bought both the kits. They also do the swaps. Big $$$$$$

sounds awesome. i'm doing the same but going a different route - my 5.9 is a tad too hopped up for the spicer, so i'm doing the NV4500.

what are your plans for radiator and intercooler?

welcome to the site!!

[doghead]

Nope, sorry.

One Man Army, please stick around and share with us your fitment. The deuce and the 5.9L are a good match and your work is pioneering!

I saw his adds in the Military Vehicles magazine. I figured it would not be cheap, as the engine alone would cost probably at least $ 10k. It is much more logical and cheaper to get a nice M35A3 with a Caterpillar diesel and Allison auto.

 

[rorybellows]

since i now have a decent paying gig, i plan on doing this.

the easiest way would be to get a welder and do it yourself. find a donor rig, probably a manual would do. it shouldnt be a tough swap as the deuce motor and a 6b cummins are roughly around the same size, correct.

or you could buy an older school bus with a little heavier duty man. trans. and take what you need

 

[onegmjack]

rory if you do this I hope you make a build post or thread.Would be interesting to see if they was another option if the multifuel died. Dwight
