At one of our meets last year ( North Ga Mopar Club ) - Diesel Performance
Motorsports McDonough GA had a dyno setup for club members and they brought
along a Dakota with a 5.9 cummings turbo diesel. There wasn't much room
left under the hood. They could probably answer any questions about
dropping in a diesel.
Go to on http://www.dieselperformancemotorsports.com/ then go to the DPM
rattler section and dyno runs.
Check out these numbers for Jeff Garmon - 1998 Blue Dakota - 5.9 Cummins
powered.
max hp 393.2 max tq 824.2.
Some of the videos are well worth seeing - check out the Blue Dak doing a
burnout.
