small diesel to fit in an older dodge van

[Arctic Taco]

Anyone know of a smaller diesel-mechanical FI, that would fit where a small block 318 normally goes? I have a 67 Dodge A108 camper van i would love to convert.

Thanks

B39 Cummins would be my top choice

Isn't it kinda tall?, Might have to refab the dog house. I'm open to anything, of course money talsk and I'm walkin but that's the way it is with projects.

it's tall, but it can certainly be done. I've seen a 6B in an 80's Ford van. I would assume a 4B in a full size van shouldn't be much trouble

Kinda heavy too but those are the limitations of mechanical injection. Since the van weighs in at 4600#+, I guess add a couple leafs and get the front springs re-arched

Depending on your application, you can get a front or a rear sump oil pan and pump pickup tube. It may help to reverse the sump end. I had to do this on a spotter truck I put a 5. 9 in for a customer. The 3. 9s are the same way.
The bellhousings and flywheels will interchange between the 3. 9 and 5. 9s. The accessories bolt on the same way also. I plan a 3. 9 in a Wrangler someday, using a 4500 or 5600 trans and transfer case out of a Dodge/Cummins.
