Yeah, I actually picked up a little Kubota V2203 not too long ago, but keep those suggestions coming. Not the only person who's going to benefit from this type of information. Tell us more about those Deutz engines.

The Isuzu C240 engines I found all ended up selling for way too much, but think I might have scored a Kubota V2203-DI. Friend of a friend runs a refrigeration business and has a bunch of them, so I should have one within the next 2-3 weeks. Now I have to figure out how to adapt my SM465 to the...

Added a list of all the engines to the first post. Please let me know if I've left out anything else worth looking at.

Wish I'd seen those auctions! Hate the idea of paying +2x what someone else paid for them a few months ago. Sounds like a neat little engine though. Will see what kind of info I can dig-up. Yeah, that's a concern of mine too. The TDI should be an easy swap because there's a company that makes...

Appreciate your input. Bet that Sami would get driven a little bit more if it was your only vehicle though eh? haha.

Going down the wrong path? You mean looking at the 1.9L TDI's? Have been reading-up on them and it looks like they're putting out an impressive amount of power for their size/weight. Why don't you think one of those would be a good choice for this project? Oh, and I don't think many people...

Sorry, what engine are you talking about exactly? How much does your Sami weigh, and what's the gearing and all that? Funny thing is this little CJ5 will be the most practical vehicle I own. No idea. Going to throw a pair of D44's out of a late 70's Wagoneer under this thing and I'm going to...

770lbs!?! Way too big/heavy. No room for that inline six in the early CJ5 (shorter hood than the later-model CJ's).

Don't want to argue the point with you, but I've looked at the specs and the 4BT is a bad fit for an early model CJ5 (length, height, weight). This is just a little runaround Jeep. Only concerned about power to the extent that I want to enough torque to pull gears and keep up with traffic...

Onan / Cummins A2300T looks pretty interesting. TDI might be an option? Looks like OTT makes an adapter that would allow me to use the SM465 with that engine using a Toyota bellhousing. Someone on pirate4x4 pointed me to this discussion about Kubota V2003 MT /V2203 DI/ V2403 engines.

4BT is way too big and heavy. The A2300 looks interesting though. What kind of money are those Onan L423 engines selling for through surplus?

Don't know anything about those engines, and google didn't turn-up much. Found this post, and a few more that suggested they might have been used in some military Jeeps? What are these engines all about? EDIT: found a lot more info when I searched for 'Cummins A2300'

Have spent the last few years building this monstrosity of a motorhome, and now that it's almost finished, it's time to start putting together a little Jeep to go with it. Have a fresh Buick 225 V6 and an SM465 and Dana 18 transfercase with a Warn overdrive (25%). But I just put a brand new...
