| Hi. Has anyone out there swapped a 301 or it’s 200ci little brother into a pickup? I read about one being done a while ago in a magazine and was thinking about giving it a try with a 79 3/4 ton square body chevy. If anyone out there has done either, I was just wondering if they were happy with the results and it was worth the work. Thanks in advance for any replies! |

| It would never be a serious trailer/hauler, just a driving machine. |

| Yeah, the biggest thing it would probably pull is a 16 foot skid steer trailer and that would only be occasionally. I would love to use it for a summer/ fall truck to drive to work during the week. The other option I was thinking of was a 4bt Cummins, I was just thinking the base engine with the allis might be a little cheaper, and that’s a factor considering all the other work that needs to be done. |

| I think you would want a 301 from a 7020 with the better cooling for use in a pickup |

| You are probably right. Anyone know what a 301 weighs in at? |

| Memory says about 1700 lbs. These may be genset numbers with a radiator. I'd have to look at home to try and verify that. They are heavier than a modern engine like the B-series Cummins for sure. ******** Looked in another place last night and a bare 301 with turbo is 1005 lbs. A bare 426 with turbo is 1425 lbs. These both have SAE bell housings and flywheel, but no radiator or engine frame. |

| A young guy around here did a square body chevy With a 5.9 cummins. It a pretty nice truck. The thought of doing an allis is nice, but I would vote for a 5.9. If you are open to cummins anyway. |

| Yeah, the Cummins engine cost more initially, but with all the aftermarket parts available for them for installs, it would probably cost less in the long run to do the Cummins. |
