dt466 in deuce

What would it take to put a international dt466 into a deuce. Could it be just a bolt in with the right parts, and if not would it even be worth the engine swap. What would the flexability of the fuel be also?

I swear the next time I see this thread title, it'd better be a build thread!

I see a lot of other engine swaps I just cant understand why no one has built one like this.

Use to work in an International truck dealership for yrs - DT466's came in and out like they were on rubber bands.

Running them also here in 5 units with automatics behind them - nothing but problems out of them.

Now on the other hand the OEM engine in 109 - never a problem and runs like a clock (knock on wood). No fuel turned up - no WMO ran in it - pm'd on a continual basis when its time with good oil and good filters.

But - its always an option.

Anything can be put into anything else with sufficient fabrication, effort and funding.

Personally, my opinion is that it is a step backwards to give up multifuel capability. But my opinion matters not at all if your circumstances are such that you are better off with that other motor.

I would only replace the multi fuel it is came apart. But I hear nothing but good things about the old mechanical dt 466. It seems to have reasonable power and easy to work on. Im sure it could run on oil if heated.

Bell housing will fit, however your gonna need a longer truck, or al least a hood, fenders, and frame.

If my engine grenades, I'll get a 466... otherwise, I'll run the MF until it falls apart.
