HD3 engine swap?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Got a salvage yard crawler with a bad engine. No injection system now and engine turns stiff. Anyone tried to put another engine into a HD3?  
What would be a good transplant engine to set in it if able to do so?
 Or does someone have an old Allis-Chalmers diesel 175 cube engine laying around that was taken out of HD3/ D15D that would be usable for donor parts?
 Here is a pic of crawler, blowing critter nests out of valve train area cuzz valve cover was sitting on the two studs.

 On market place, seen a Simpson SJ436E engine says 46 kw, and a Perkins 404...Also a 4 cylinder Mercedes OM616 2.4L Would that make the crawler run like a Cadillac?  
  I might have to go hunt down a D15 160 cube engine and put in, probably be the easiest avenue to go.
   Sure would like to keep it diesel.
        Thanks, JC
