Info on 4 cylinder diesel continental?

[PaFarmer]

I saw an interesting motor that might be neat in a vehicle like a samurai. The motor is a Continental Mdl TMD27 4 cylinder diesel engine Sn 91120129. The motor puts out 66.5 HP out of 2.7L.

What was this motor used in? What transmission bolt to the flywheel? Any information appreciated.

Generator motor.

Unless it has a standard bell housing that will accept a stock clutch and transmission you might be buying a boat anchor.

66 HP is not a lot of power.....might take a while to get up to speed.

m-37 swap motor?????? feasable?

 

[myJEEPisAfatty]

it would be perfect for a samurai they only weigh about 1800 lbs

I had a sammy with the 1.3 L. I have seen the VW 1.8T swap, but this motor is a lot cheaper.

How much is it? I would love to find one for my m37. Did they ever make a multi like this?

The Military 230ci in the m-37 is rated at 94bhp @ 3200rpm ( taken right out of the TM 230ci rebuild manual)
I don't think trading to 66hp diesel which is probably governed at 2700rpm will cut it..but I've been wrong before

hmmm must be 94 hp and about 15 FtLb's of torque lol, mabye it wouldnt be a good swap, i was just curious.

 

[Bill W]

Acually its 188ft/lbs @ 1200rpm's which is impressive for that little flathead.
A buddy of mine has a 251ci in his 37 and boy what a difference in performance
