Hambone is going to post pic's for me. Cheers
I will not comment. Plus I think we all assumed you were looking for a running vehicle. I will bet this still was not cheap. What gears are in the rears? They came with either 3.73 or 3.08. I have seen the CUCV's with both. Used to be able to buy 6.2's cheap at GL auctions but since Richie took over Iron Planet you are unlikely to find any engines at all let alone cheap.

I like all the wires. It's a modern art masterpiece! Gonna be fun to watch this come back together.

As a prior Diesel Mechanic in the Marines, I think they should have used a Cummins Engine. Heck of a lot easier to work on. I hate that 6.2 and 6.5.
We are putting in a Straight 6 Perkins Diesel engine. It' only needs one wire to start it :D
Doing my homework now to find the adapter to the transmission.
Thanks Hambone for posting pic's. !!

A Perkins is an industrial motor and will not work well at all in a road vehicle. And you only need one wire for a 6.2 also, fuel solenoid is it. The 6.2 is a very basic and simple engine to work on. And the Perkins is not going to turn anywhere near the RPM you need for that transmission, As a Diesel mechanic in the military you should know that. The operating RPM on the 6.2 is 2200-2800 RPM. On the Perkins the redline is 2100. If you are going to do a conversion why don't you do a 4 or 6 BT?

6.2 and 6.5 Glow plugs breaking off and falling into the cylinder, Injection pump and that intake was a PITA. I don't know how many you worked on, but it's just my 2 cents.
It's not my call on the engine or vehicle (it's not mine). I am just a wrench in this project. There are Plenty of Diesel swaps with this engine on goggle, you tube and many diesel forums.
If I owned it, I would put a Chevy 350 gas engine in.
Peace.

Ok, And your point? Some slick talking salesman trying to convince me that he spent tons of money on these things and it was worth it. You can see right off there is no power at all and I would guess if either of those trucks even looked at a hill they would roll to a stop. I ran a Ford tractor with that very same engine in it for many years and the only reason it got anything done was gears. The same with the Perkins. That is the engine that is in my tractor in my back yard right now. Fantastic little motor, but do you think that 62 horsepower is going to get you very far? The four cylinder Perkins came in versions from 203 Cu/In up to 318 Cu/in. None of them were road engines. All of the road engines were English designs and used overseas in taxis and buses. It's your vehicle, with torches, welders and hammers you can put ANY motor in ANY vehicle. Whether it is practical or not is a matter of opinion and the only opinion that counts is that of the person footing the bill. You could drop a 12 valve Cummins in there with all of the adapters needed off the shelf and have it running for 2 grand, motor included.

And in reference to your blurb about how many of the 6.2/6.5's I have worked on? I was certified by GM in 1982 on them. Worked on hundreds of them since. I have all the mods and tricks for the glow controllers on both the civilian versions and also the military versions. If you replace the #13 or #11 glow plugs with AC60G plugs you will NEVER swell another plug again. You can light them up and leave them lit till the batteries die. Do you know what the difference in the compression ratio is between the turbo and non-turbo motors is? There is also a very desirable internal feature of the turbo motors that we used to use on the older 6.2s when we were bumping the timing and running the marine injectors. Know what that feature is?
