Has anyone thought about doin a engine swap like this? I think it would be really cool to put a 6 cyl. Cat engine in for the powerstroke. Maybe im just crazy.

And if anyone on this website has been through a Cat program to become a mechanic at their dealers. I leave this fall to go to the one in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and was wondering what it was like.

A guy near me had a cat diesel in a 78 1 ton ford. It was sweet.

I've seen the newer style cat C2 (perkins 2.2) in a tracker or samari at a swap meet once. Guy done a real nice job with it, came out of a Gen set he said...

I thought about putting the 7.4 strait 6 (3406) I think in my old Chevy!
