Ford blue engine paint on my Nissan Diesel in my Jeep Comanche

 

NICE

 

i like the way you roll sir

 

i got a friend who just picked up the same engine for his mj .. his is from a cj10 IIRC, with a 727 with a jeep t-case pattern .. what are you gonna do about cooling ?? i can't imagine the stock rad is up to the task .. he was toying with the idea of using a vw oil/coolant heat exchanger and routing some heat back to a waste veggie oil tank, but i still don't think it's that viable .. i guess if you're gonna wheel it you can just stick the biggest jy rad you can find in the bed, but he wants to DD his

 

any tips i can pass along ???

Remember that a diesel runs cooler than a gasoline motor, that said if there is an I/C involved, those reduce the cooling efficiency of the radiator (assuming they are mounted in front or behind the rad.

A stock 4.0 radiator may possibly be up to the task, if there isnt an I/C

very impressive with all your hard works than mine in automobile shop :bowdown:

 

i knew it that there would be issue with diesel I/C but remember that you can put it anywhere but of course it gonna need some good air flow thru it like F1, corvette, semi trucks trailer with refrigerant, etc.

in order to use the factory location for the throttle pedal and be able tp weld my firewall back together i need to move the engine to the passenger side about an inch. so i pulled the engine out and set it on the floor. i needed to take the transmission out and change the main shaft anyways.
