Would it be possible to swap a CAT 3208 into my C60, and how much fabrication/modification would it take? Would it mate up to my spicer 5 speed?

First thing is to check the weight of the 3208, I have pulled one out of a bus and it was extremely heavy!!!! joe

Weight and length both. I would think the 3208 is too big and heavy for a 60? What was originally in your 60, a 366?

A friend of mine put a Cat. 3208 in his dually 1 ton pickup (about '73 I think) and it fit O.K. but had to beef up front springs because of the weight. It was very powerful and fuel efficient too but couldn't get it registered in Calif. due to smog laws. If your state is O.K. with smog laws it would be a great choice.
