jimoshel Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Perkins Diesel Engine, 369 CI. He was running it in a Ford P/U. Still got the 4 spd tran attached. Would this be any good for a MJ swap? Or is it too heavy? Haven't looked at it yet. Just got the pic the guy sent me. If it's to heavy for a MJ I may just get it anyway. See if it will fit in a J20.

Pete M Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 that looks like it might weigh more than an MJ. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 LOL..That was my first thought when I first saw it. Just checking to see if any body has any info or opinions on it. it's a 60 mile trip one way just to look so trying to find out whether it's worth it or not.

Oyaji Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 If you get it cheap enough, it would be worth having around for some future project - hell, you could at least run a welder/generator with it if nothing else. . Did you ask the seller how much it weighs? Maybe he knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I think it would be good for a J20 but much too heavy for an MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula69 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Jim - is there anything that you won't mess with? :rotfl2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Actually there is. But this is a family forum so let's not go there. :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yxmj Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 My main concern would be the manual fuel pump mounted to the top of the motor.....would be hard to operate.....I guess I could hold the wife by the belt loops while she reached out and turned it.. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnuck Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 J20 would barely handle the extra weight. I almost bought a Dodge LCF (low cab forward) 5 ton with one. VERY low revving, slow and not very powerful compared to modern engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
