1996 turbo / non-turbo swap
 

hi everyone

can't find an answer locally!!!

I have a situation here. I have a 1996 dodge turbo diesel in my truck, the rings and bottom end are pretty much shot. I have a 1996 dodge non-turbo diesel engine in a full size van. (I have had people tell me that in 1996 non-turbo diesel engines in vans was not an option)

My main question is that, Can I take the block from the van and put my intake and turbo etc. on to that block??? Is there any way to check to see if they match up before i start tearing things apart?

any help you can provide would be great.
thanks

huh
 

please post some pics... I am going to be another one of those guys who tell you that it is impossible. I have never seen or heard of a dodge diesel van in the mid 90's... especially a non turbo one. What engine is it.... is it a b series cummins or something else.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge but what motor is in the van,

Is this van a US model or from somewhere else?

How many miles are on your 96?

What makes you think the bottom end is shot? Is it knocking? Low on oild pressure?

You will need to cross reference CPL tables for the engines to ensure the parts of the non turbo are up to the turbo task.

Odds are this is a pre 94 engine swapped into a later van. I can tell you with certainty Dodge did not make a diesel van in 1996 for US market.
