Would this engine be a candidate for an engine swap into a '70's W200 or would it turn out to be a mongrel?

Maybe someone transplanted a newer 6BT into the older truck. There is a Brazilian made inline 6 diesel that a lot of people call a Cummins which it is not. Not sure of its history but I believe it was made in two sizes and was a decent engine. Last edited by NITROUSN; 12/25/22 11:52 AM.

It has an Allison behind it but based on your comments I have the sneaking suspicion that it is not a Cummins.

My 1971 AM General m-817 military dump has the Cummins 250. My bets that Ford could also have it. Totally different than the 6BT. The 250 was uses in a lot of big over the road trucks and HD equipment even big light plants.
