Would a Cummins 5.9 fit into a Patrol engine bay?

These diesel B series are about the biggest 6 clys you can get.Been around for a few years now.And seem to have very good reviews,for performance/reliability/power.Don`t plan on doing this myself.Just wondering if it is another option to the Chev 6.5,one reads about on the Aussie forums.

its about time we started talking real donks :shock: ...

i think shell fit its just the length that wil get ya(maybe a firewall tuck)

so why the b serries to be honest they arnt the best ,very renonuded for cracking manifolds tec....the b spec were actually a marine based engine(correct me if im wrong) ,built for torque and not high horses.

have you done any homework on the later powerstrokers ?,now these a far superior donk and provide huge torgue figures :wink:

but the 6.5 siera chey bb turbo is a good donk,well priced and sound awesome..

well no matter what you do its gona cost you 10k plus for a engine that works well :oops:

but good luck what ever road you go down :wink:

Hi krawlr,I just found this site a few minutes ago http://www.powerspec.cummins.com Just punch in your trye size,various ratios etc,and she`ll tell you if your gearing is within acceptable rev limits.Still looking for a site that can give me the engine specs.IE weight,lenght,width etc.Cummins sell alot of these engines to fit the Dodge Rams.Over a million of `em on the roads now.

Cheerz cobber.The 5.9 ISB engine came up for me on that powerspec website.This engine was for trucks under 10,000lbs.Turbo`d of course.Think this is a 24volt as well.Hope this helps.
