"The snow cutter is powered by a DAIMLER-BENZ type OM 355A model 355,968, diesel engine. It is a turbo charged water cooled 6 cyl eng rated at 290 HP at 2200 RPM. The engine is pressure lubricated by a lubricating oil pressure pump, the oil pressure being indicated by the oil pressure gauge provided in the operators cabin. It is provided with a 24 volts electrical system consisting of a alternator rectifier, voltage regulator and two 12 Volts batteries."

How's that sound for a cruiser engine swap?

Too bad the snow cutter engine takes up the whole rear of the truck!
