CMP Diesel Conversions???

Well i've narrowed it down to either:

* Perkins 4236 + 5 speed box
* Perkins 6247 + 5 speed box

Both engines were fitted to dodge 50's so are cheap and readily available. I've heard that the 6247 has less torque than the 4236 and has a non-to-reliable pump as well as hard to find parts? So perhaps better off with the slighty less smooth but more relable 4 cylinder (Phazor) 4236 engine.

Any further thoughts folks???

Ben a few years back I fitted a 4 cylinder perkins(Phaser) from an ex electric board Dodge into a 1956 Volvo Sugga...its still running well !regards malcolm

Have a look at Nissan's TD42 ,5 speed box and the transfer case from a Patrol or Safari.

thats reasuring then, looks as though the phasor engine through buying a cheap dodge 50 is the way forward.
