I found a crashed FL-70 with a 5.9 CTD. Will it fit in a 99 Ram with a bad CTD?
Im sure there will be a few changes, but Will it work? What about using that transmission from the Fl-70?

 

The oil pickups might be in different locations....

 

which trans, auto or manual?

 

Its a manual trans. Oil Pickup.....Isnt that in the pan, what would that have to do with the engine fitting in a Ram? changing oil pans?
THe Freight liner has a air pump where it would normally have a vacuum pump. Can I change that out easiliy?

 

You can swap all the Dodge accessories onto the Freightliner engine and it will bolt in like it grew there.

Putting in the trans would take a lot of work.

 

Ill see how cheap I can get it. The same junk yard sold me a complete turbo for an 02 CTD(and it was in good working condition) for $100, plus I got a bunch of spare parts for my other projects: Center cap, cup holder, other pieces. I thought that was good for only a $100.
We'll see.
I have a 53 block truck thats needs a motor.
