I am starting a new job on nov 3rd and my first project is to restore/re-power a V100. it had a cummins v-8 and allison, I want to be one step ahead of the game and know all there is to know about this machine before i touch it. Has anyone heard of a 5.9 6bt installed in one?? I have seen posts saying some had a 6bt V-6 diesel or a 6CTA which both the 6bt and the 6CTA are both inlines. I will also need sources for parts, this is getting built for the local sheriff office. If length wise the b series cummins will fit, then I am thinking a 5.9 commonrail 325hp cummins and a 1000 series allison from a duramax. Any suggestions??
Shoot me an email. You are welcome to look at my machine in person, as well as my V-150 manuals which show the diesel installed. I am in the Portland area. Not sure where you are, but I see you are in Oregon too.
Might give up a bit of road speed, but there is room for the B easily.

Thank's for the replies, Dave, I will be getting ahold of you. Will, why would it be giving up ground speed? the B series cummins can be made easily more powerfull than any engine I have ever seen put it one, short of a C series..
RPM is much lower with the B. It's yours though, you can do with it what you like.

?Well I found out today that my project is a V150 not a V100!! What are the differences? Looks like I will have room to put the b-series cummins in, I won't be used amphibious anymore so I can move the rad back some more and get rid of the mufflers. any forums/info on the V150's?
not sure on the fitting but our mech's installed a 4bt in a Mamba with no problems and a 5.9 backed by a Allison in a Saxon which is a very heavily armored vehicle probably more in line with the V150 series. The 5.9 is preforming admirably and will burn the tires off the back when pushed. If you have the room go with a 5.9

The LAV-150 is virtually the same as the LAV-100 except for the Cummins V-504 V8 Diesel engine. The LAV-100 and the larger LAV-200, built for export to Singapore, was replaced by the LAV-150 in 1971. The LAV-150 was later upgraded to the LAV-150S in 1985.
