v8 swap in deuce

[kwiksilver]

could you be more specific im startin to like the idea(now if only i could make it fit)

They go surplus like MV's so look around. Here is an example of what they use at the ports here. I hear rumor that they mess with the valve body and keep it out of 4th but my trans guy says they are easy to put back.

sorry about the egay link

**** that might even net you some power steering! Sell the wheels and scrap the rest

you know whatd be amazing? if we put a honeywell multifuel turbine engine in a deuce.... 1500hp thatd make it move that can make a 63 ton tank go 42mph im sure it could move a deuce!

and thamks for thee link itll come in handy in the future

If I were doing this swap I'd either go with a GM 366 or 427. The 366 is the staple gas engine used in older (non fuel injected) GM 2-ton trucks. It has alot of low end torque needed to get bigger trucks moving but it's a fairly low RPM engine.

nice

If anything catastrophic ever happens to my Multi. My little Deuce will be pushed down the road with a Ford 429/460 under the hood. It would be nice to turn more than 2,300 RPM when I need it to.

Theres a guy in my town that has a V8 reo Deuce,thinking its a 413 Chrysler.He took the axles off of it.
It was a custom made DNR truck.

The only acceptable V8 swap into a Deuce is a Duramax, preferably with twin turbos, EFI Live, twin CP3;s and about 1000 hp

 

[Billy Bobbed]

1000 Hp REALLY.

 

[ranchhopper]

This ones 250 HP it should push the little bobber down the road pretty well.

And hope to god there's a tow truck in your area big enough to pull your new 7 ton paperweight home. Because that's about all it's going to be good for after 1000HP on your drivetrain. As durable as the 2 1/2 deuce is, they do have limits.

You can do it....

 

[XanRa]

i still liked my idea better.... now if only we could get a hw multifuel turbine thats the hard part.....

I'm with gimpyrobb on the Cad 500. I think you could even bolt it to the stock trans but you would have to stack 2 adapter plates to do it. I have the adapters one is a B.O.P. to chevy bell housing and the other is a chevy to #2 or #3 SAE bell housing. If i can find my camera ill post some pictures.

 

[Rockcrusher]

an where did u find these adapters the chevy to the #2 #3 bell housing i have a 56 gmc xm220 that moister had got by the nut on valve covers an ruined the head broke rocker an bent push rods. I have a couple of v8 chevys lerkin around an i have a 290 horse cummins but i think its to big an there is the rpm thing

I found the Chevy to SAE adapter at my local pull your own part junk yard. It was stashed inside the cab of a late 1950s era medium duty truck. It wasn't off of that truck someone just threw it in the cab. I do know that they used them on the GMC 6000 and 7000 series blg block powered trucks in the 1970s and 80s. I went outside to measure the I.d. and it turns out to be a #4 SAE.

Does anyone know off hand what size bellhousing is used on the M35 trucks?
