buying a rolled truck for the diesel

[Jaiden]

as the title says thinking of doing this for the towing abilitly. I would think it would be decently easy to swap. I have a 97 dodge 360 currently.

anyone done something like this?

Shouldn't be a problem.

Better yet fix up the rolled truck and drive that if it is a late model. It would be a lot easier. My Brother in law does that for a living.

I'd go for the earlier 12V, mech. injected engine for ease of swapping...

I was thinking of that as well just use my body on it

I'd make sure the engine never ran out of oil depending on the type of accident.

Roll over - easy oil pressure loss
Head on - no thanks

Solid rear ender - GOLD
Make sure the vehicle taking the new motor can handle the weight.
