There should be no issues when swapping them over other than the usual Murphy dropping by type issues.

The issue of putting a 5 ton (LDS) multi in a deuce where an LDT originally lived has been covered in depth. A search will bring up all the info you could possibly need.

Ok I have stupid question. I have 1970 2.5 with multi fuel. Runs great and I am happy with it but what is the difference between the two engines. One for 2.5 and other for 5 ton ???

LDT465 = 130 HP --> 2.5 ton Deuce
LDS465 = 180 HP --> 5 ton trucks, and some Deuces
Both are essentially the same, just need to change over a few things to make them swap. The oil pick-up tubes and the oil pan need to be reversed. The bell housing will need changed over to an LDT bell housing (Probably) Dipstick tube will need relocated. only minor things.
**I'm not 100% on the HP numbers above, but they should be close**

I take it they are both the same make of engines just updated so more hp. My duece has a hercules engine in it. The extra 50 hp would be nice.

It is alot of work for the power, now with that said I would do it in a heart beat, BUT turning up the fuel in the truck u have will do the same thing, like said above there are a gazilion threads that cover both in detail, it is up to the individual what means more to him that is really the only difference. there are some differences in engines, but over all the same set up and size and bolt patterns.

will the lds 5 ton clutch splines mate to the 2.5 ton transmission. i.e can you just change the bell housing then bolt to the 2.5 trans

IIRC, the clutch and flywheel are different.

The LDS Flywheel and clutch are different. The Ldt flywheel housing, flywheel and clutch need to be used to be put on the Lds for M35 deuce installation. Different size input shafts on the front end of transmission. 1 5/8" vs. 1 3/4". Still, a great mod. true power without cranking the heck out of the fuel screw on a LDT that isn't built for it. JT
