Awesome. That engine in a 70's Dart or 90's Dakota with a ax15 trans and I got torque and fuel mileage.

161 HP 267 TQ ck
I can buy a real nice 318 5 speed magnum dakota for $3000-$4000 and get more HP and TQ and with the $5000 or so dollars I save I can buy a whole lot of fuel. If you are talking already having the truck and doing the conversion with a blown up motor consider that you can buy a 5.2 or 5.9 for around $500 and $500 labor for the install and you are still saving $8000 without the added expense of a motor swap.
I think that engine is more targeted to forklifts and such that get used a lot.
It is fun to daydream about but the price makes it completly impracticle.

Yeah, I'd be looking for a 50mpg VW donor car and do your swap if diesel really is a must.
Otherwise, just chuck a turbo on whatever POS engine you have in there now and spend the 6 grand you just saved on fuel. Less work involved too.

I just don't know how many times I've said it, maybe it wasn't loud enough. I LIKE DIESELS! Not playing with gasoline engines anymore. In fact I'm seriously looking at converting the race car or selling it and just playing with my 12 valve 1st gen.

My old 92 6bt ex cab long bed auto got nearly 30MPG, I bet a 4bt in a 1/2 ton regular cab short box would do it pretty easily.
As for the 2.8 this thread is about, I bet it would sell at an incredible pace if it was mechanically fueled instead of all the electronic garbage, thats one good reason for a diesel is they were very simple and self contained.

I wonder what exhaust emissions level the Repower Crate 2.8 I6 diesel is tuned for?
Perhaps if it is for old Jeep repowers or for off road use, it might be pre-1994 Tier 1 level where fuel economy was not hobbled by NOx from the cummins repower website: The Cummins R2.8 Turbo Diesel (PN 5467036) has demonstrated through the testing procedures prescribed in 40 CFR Part 86 to meet EPA’s Tier 0 (LDT 1 and 2) and Tier 1 emissions standards (LDT 2 weighing less than 4000 lb complete weight). This means that the R2.8 generally is suitable for Model Year 1999 or earlier light duty trucks.

I wonder if a chip maker like Bullydog or similar could make that 267 ft-lbs of max torque climb to +300 ? Oh I'm sure they can. Personally I would stab this engine into a '92-'99 Dakota.
