Hello All,
I have a C15a which is outfitted with a perkins diesel engine. I am thinking of replacing it with a petrol engine. What would be a good source to look for one? And what kind of engine should i be looking for? thanks!

Markwin,
How about a GMC 270 cid engine out of a GMC CCKW truck? They can be fairly easily bought in Holland. H.

Careful.......
The 270 engine family is longer than the 216/235/261 GM engines and will require cab/frame modification....... not impossible but not as easy as a shorter GM block.
Cheers

I know Bob, but they are relatively plentiful here, rather than the Chev engines. Since Markwin's Chev is already converted with a Perkins diesel, the GMC 270 may fit without a lot of conversion work.

Would be nice to see...
How the Perkins was fitted..... and what was required.
The 270/292 usually require moving the radiator forward as it should bolt right up to the CMP tranny. Cheers
