I saw this on youtube while doing research on a travco (MoPower Tour anyone). And I saw someone beat me to the punch.

That thing FLIES

I will have to eyeball that when I can go to some place that does not have this dial-up ISP ..

A couple of people have done this .. on guy is in-process of a conversion of one of the MH's like in my avatar.

Me ? ... I will just stick with a tweaked 413.

I've found some travco's with 413's, 440's, 318's. But I think the cummins would be great for the RV...

I know, crazy.

NO ... not crazy at all. But that swap is big-bux ...and would require a front-suspension UPgrade.

Does that vid show what this guy did on the dog-house ? .. it would have to be longer.

They say that if there is a big block in there, a cummins would fit without issue. Here's a guy who shows what he did to put a cummins in.

Several years ago I thought about buying a Revcon. They came with a 440 in the rear with the axle turned around backwards. This Revcon had a 6BT in place of the 440, but he was wanting more than I had. It did look like a neat installation.

While not much sounds better than a 12 valve without a muffler, he isn't going to make many friends pulling into the campground in the wee hours. I would muff it.

Yeah, I agree it needs an exhaust system... but how cool would that thing be with a MoPower Tour Wrap on it?

My mom and stepdad had a travco with an import turbo diesel with an allison tranz

I converted and own the 1975 Travco with 1995 Cummins in the "Webshots" link above. The Cummins and transmission weighed only 180 pounds more than the 440-3 Dodge and tranny. No suspension mods required, no mods to doghouse needed, but that didn't make it an easy job.

Seems like a tremendous amount of work......for a tremendously great ride. Congrats.

Ha, that's awesome.

There was actually one for sale on here... I thought about it.
