I'm new...be nice!!

Hi Everyone. I came across your site last night as I was looking for info on a diesel conversion into a 1983 Jeep J10 ,360 with an automatic 727 tranny. I live in the London Ontario Canada area and would like to know if anyone has a basic guide to this conversion and or any help at all.

Thanks so much for your time
Peter

Hey, Peter, welcome to the DTR.


There is a pretty good bunch of guys near you, look in the chapter section...
https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...play.php?f=149 That is the ontario section...

And, here is the Cummins conversion section...

Welcome Peter...


In a Jeep you will be wanting to look at a 4 bt swap - the 6 Cylinder Cummins is much too heavy. Theres lots of info here but checking out www.4btswaps.com might help out out a lot since they specialize in 4bt swaps over there. Good Luck.
