The first option is what I was leaning towards. I am not sure I would want a 205 in there. As stout as they are, I am going with something a little bigger.

That sounds right. I knew it was a gasser bottem end. It is a shame they could not make it work. Imagine how cheap parts would be.

That brings up a issue I have dealt with in the past. I have learned that a lot of people make the mistake of thinking Detroit engines were biult by GM. A few old timer Detroit mechanice told me that. They told me a GM biult Detroit does not exist. I am not saying what I learned is correct, but...

I meant the only GM biult deiasel engines I know of is the 6.2 and 6.5. So yes, cpmpared to those a 8.3 is big.

That is exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks.

Is the lug pattern on the M211 the same as the more modern dueces? I think they are I just wanted to varify.

Tony, I am very interested. But Cali is too far. I could never afford the shipping. Wreckerman, I would like ot know more. What part of Bama are you in? Naw, that is not much at all. ;-)

That does sound like a good set up. But it ruins my multi fuel reasons. Wait, I have never heard of a GM 8.3 deisel. Are you sure GM made a deisel that big?

I thought about a 6.5 swap as well. I really like those engines. But one of the main reasons I want a deuce is for the multi fuel engine. I wish I could jump on one now. But all our money is tied up in several deuces we bought recently. Plus, I prefer there not be another project truck...

If I have to biuld a dog house anyway, why go through the hassle of fitting the cab to a different frame?

I just did a littel research and I have a few more questions. Besides the bed what is the difference between the M135 and M211?

That truck is way too nice. I would not part out a truck like that. I would however drive the hell out of it though.

That is a good idea. Will the front clip still fit the engine though?

That looks great. Now that I know hard tops are available the only issue is going to be the engine fitment. Some photographs of the engine bay would help.

Shoot me straight no this one. I want this model deuce because I love the way it looks. That is the only reason I am willing to put that kind of work into bringing it up to a more modern standard. After looking at my wish list and confirming I am dead set on a multi fuel engine, would I be...

Thanks. That will give me a big head start. I would really like to see a photograph of the drive shaft and tandem set up. I searched for one earlier but no luck.

A couple more questions. What is this deuce called? I know it sounds stupid, but I have heard a few differetn naes and numbers for it. When I start tracking parts, what should I call it so people know what I am talking about? This one might take a while to answer. I see the more modern deuces...

There is not a splitter at the tandems? That would make it more difficult. DO you have a photograph of how it is set up?

That sucks. I wanted a multi-fuel so I can run wast oil. I do not want to hack up the cap that much. I have have a 5.9 though.

Thanks. That is also good information. As far as the engine I am really set on a multi fuel from a modern deuce.
