Ah, now we are talking!!
Sub'd.

Good information on the weights. Thanks for sharing. I'm guessing the 617 is a little heavier than the 606 due to the iron head.

Great chatting with you last night Max hope to swing by your shop when in the area. BTW how long have you been working on the engine swap.

Originally I want to swap 12 valve Cummins from a 96 Dodge and man this sucker is heavy

 

[NookShneer]

Subscribed. This is going to be interesting to see the final results.

 

[gregnash]

Wow that cummins is 1023lbs?! That is stupid heavy!

what is the displacement of the OM617? I was under the impression a california motor swap had to be same age or newer AND AND same size or BIGGER...Any of you OM*** swappers manage to get thru a smog ref within the last couple years? I'm on the edge of my seat over this...

Wow. A quick jump to YouTube and a few videos later I am subscribed!

I've been mucking up the thread with the OM617 talk. This swap is using the OM606 which looks like it was 1993 to 2000 - 3.0L and inline 6. The 1979-1985 OM617 is a 3.0L inline 5.

Can't help with the legalities. In Ohio we don't have to anything but put plates on it.

@47coeman do you have any insight on the displacement issues here in CALI? have you been able to get swaps thru the ref in the last couple of years?

 

[Madmaxs]

Sent out the injection pump from a OM603. This one is a mechanical pump which will let us run the OM606 without any issues. We had Dieselmeken go threw it and upgrade the elements to 7.5mm with 180 cc of flow.

If you have a 96 engine it is easier for a 60 or 62, however in a non smog vehicle it i.e. A no brainer. PM me and I will discuss with you your options.

I got the engine in and got the mounts done up. Now we can mock up the radiator and intercooler.

Great work, can't wait to see more

 

[47coeman]

Looks good Max, you keep inching your way to completion.

 

[Madmaxs]

I also resealed the engine with fresh gaskets before going in.
