I looked at doing a Detroit in a 42 dump truck. Decided against it due to the narrow power band, need for multi gears and noise. Think it would be a cool build but not very practical. Would love to put a cat motor in but haven't found one with enough power tha would fit. Keep us posted on your progress.
Those things are the reasons I wanted a Detroit! LOL!
The nice thing about most diesel engines is the interchangeablity. This engine has an SAE #4 bellhousing, same as Kubota, Yanmar, and a lot of other small diesels.
Phoenix Casting and Machining makes all kinds of adapters and the prices are really pretty decent.
