Here in Argentina i a super common swap. It's common to see f100's with 4 and 5 cyl deutz. Another common swap are 4 and 6 perkins. I absolutely love the old diesel swaps. I have a 62 F 100 with a 4 cyl perkins. It hard to drive, hard to steer and slow af , but i love it! Lol
Here in America these idiots LS swap everything they even went as far as to have a fest over an engine you can get in any junk yard its called LS Fest and its the dumbest thing ever
@@northcountryatvrider Dude I get your not a fan of them but LS engines aren’t that bad lol. That said I’ll take a Diesel over those overrated pieces of Junk anyday
@@brettkendrick5941 True. If I ever get a LS it would have to be a Pontiac GTO which is my favorite car with the LS inside lol. Probably run nitrous through or something. Otherwise, I’m a Diesel guy. I’m all about the big Engines CAT🐱 ,Cummins, Detroit Diesels. And now I also have a liking for the Deutz engines. I had a Miller Bobcat Welder / Generator with a Deutz engine in it. It ran magnificently. Thing was great !!! 👍
I'm wondering with all that low end torque if a modern 8 speed automatic transmission would improve gas mileage and top speed in one modification? Especially in an even lighter and more aerodynamic body. Like a stretched VW Bug and diesel engine (Testarossa type side air intakes) mid-mounted behind driver, oil cooler and fuel up front. You'd have a decent daily driver highway machine sipping at 60mpg going 70mph. How fast it gets to 70mph depends on gearing and curb weight, but being obsessed with drag strip times is something the fellas worried about what the fellas might think a bit much. Most of us really just want sustainable reliable rides that are both affordable and low impact on the environment. This swap is definitely in the spirit of that aspiration.
An acquaintance of mine talked about doing this with a deutz engine back in the 1980s. Since he mentioned it I have been intrigued by the idea. IM glad to finally see someone did it with success
Keep a full log including details of part numbers used in an archival (sealed) file inside the truck. When the truck has passed to another owner and the clutch goes out in Buffalo, Wyoming, somebody will be glad you did.
I’m sure it’s unbearably slow, very loud, hard to drive, much heavier, hard to source parts, and generally a huge downgrade all around, and I absolutely love it! Great job and super creative man!
Has a video of him cruising at 63 Waste oil is something mechanics have to pay to be hauled away, so you are getting transportation that is free at 45mpg and a lot more usable torque. If you break a deutz you are doing something wrong lol
Why would it be 'much heavier'? Are you paying attention to all the parts eliminated? You think he's getting 45mpg because "it's much heavier"? Take some physics courses. Stay away from the red hat rallies. The fat orange oaf literally can't even drive a car. A golf cart was foreign to him and had to be driven by a caddy until he was 60 years old. You paying attention?
most of u may not know. but ford used these engines as stock options for the 70s/80s south american f100 (its your f150 ) the only difference is that it was a 4 cylinder and was newer. it was the f4l-913. and theyre still running. i have a turbo one (Bf4l-913) in a small 7 ton truck and it has even towed a 14 ton truck. beign loaded with 7200kg on my chassis. (double those numbers to translate into pounds)
Hello, here in Argentina Deutz engines are very popular, I had a dozen of them 4-5-and 6-cylinder turbo and turbo post cooled, excellent machines with an instant ignition, miserable consumption and very economical maintenance, I love those engines, one of 5 cylinders hard without touching anything, only injectors seven hundred and fifty thousand miles, excellent video greetings.
Hard to beat a Deutz, everyone in America thinks you need a radiator to cool a engine. Deutz has it all figured out, good ole German engineering. Btw, put a vacuum storage canister on it.
my crawler from 1965 italian factory called "Toselli" built togheter with VM engines that you start to know due to FCA dodge ram engine, have a 3 cylinder 48 hp air cooled 2.3 liter naturally aspirated engine, tons of european manufacter use to build that kind of engine and we all still love them and use it everyday into farm... low fuel consumption, no maintenance, just change often engine oil with the proper one and you're ready to go!
En argentina fue muy popular el motor Deutz en la F100 ya que acá la mayoría que se usó para trabajar se retiraba el motor a gasolina y se reemplazaba por un Deutz diesel
I like the job done, may I add a piece of advice from personal experience of changing over from gas to diesel, Add a small in line reservoir to your vacuum system and it should be more than enough. I did not use electric vacuum systems but engine driven ones and again prosit.
Wow, we got the f3l912 in our tracor Here in Germany. The license bulit Torpedo tractos we're turbocharged to like 80hp, the NA made 35-50 depending on the trim
Great job! I did a 5 cylinder Deutz in a 1980 one ton some 40 years ago. Fun project. I own a 45-06 Deutz with the same 912 engine as your pickup project. Great engine series
Absolutely excellent quality swap ! Obviously not able to see everything from just the top view, but from here, looks like it was meant to be sitting right there from the factory ! Plenty of torque to get the job done, and fuel economy that can't be argued with ! Would you be able to share your list of all of the conversion components that made it all come together !? Just about ready to do a 4cyl. Cummins swap in my little Chevy S10, but this could be a viable option for my consideration ! Very nice job my friend ! Very nice job !
That is awesome. I've discussed an F3L912W swap into a small pickup for use as an underground utility vehicle; the -W indirect injection engines are MSHA-approved for use in underground mines. I've got an F4L912W in an EIMCO LHD; it's got a funky water exhaust scrubber to cut down on DPM emissions.
There are a couple of companies that build underground personnel carriers powered by F4L914's. I think I've seen a few from the 70's/80's that were powered by 912W's.
I've wondered how one of these engines would do in a vehicle, specifically my Suzuki Sidekick, which got an anemic 17 to 20 mpg, and about 80 hp. I looked into a diesel swap, but all the engines were just so heavy and these were not widely available. Nice job on this swap, how about an update video after the 3 years since this one 😀
@@barrylinkiewich9688 I did, but eventually ended up going turbo with the stock engine, TDI engines were not available at that time and reefer engines are extremely heavy and hard starting
@@goodmanboattransport3441 In Britain we got them with the Peugeot XUD diesel from the factory. Apart from the timing belt driven water pump they're great engines.
Great - that’s the kinda stuff I like to do - ain’t no buddy got one like mine ! Saw a street rod with an air cooled one , no radiator just that intake sticking out ! Everybody does a double take ! Love it
I love it, it sounds great, and it's something different. I would go down to the used auto parts and get a vacuum pump off of a diesel pickup, I got mine off a 1990's Ford F250 diesel. Make sure you install it with the diaphram on top, there is oil in the input shaft that needs to drain off the diaphram. Enough vacuum for your brakes. 👍👍
Sort of. They do have a large oil cooler (and a large oil capacity for their size) but the high-velocity airflow across the cylinders from the fan provides primary cooling.
I need to tap your brain on the whole "SAE ___ bellhousing pattern" thing I had heard about that before and got the impression that SAE has standardized bellhousing patterns over the years and you can some how get your hands on a spreadsheet of sorts. And that way you can cross reference things and be like "oh look, this skid steer diesel will pair up to a TH350, or C6..." or whatever. Maybe I have unrealistic thoughts, but it seems like you hinted at it a little in your video that maybe my previous thought might be closer to reality than a myth I'm holding on to.
In the case of Deutz diesels, it's kind of confusing since they almost always came with a flywheel housing which has a circular SAE 3 or 4 bolt pattern on the output side. The holes tapped into the block are roughly the same diameter as SAE3, but the spacing is different and it's lopsided with bolt holes around the starter. Most medium duty transmissions would need both an SAE bellhousing and flywheel housing to bolt to a deutz. My Iveco trans is the only one I know of that bolts directly to a Deutz block with no flywheel housing required. Luckily, I was also able to get the matching flywheel and pressure plate that were originally used with my trans.
Put a vacuum can on it. Years ago saw many a one from factory one gallon steel can. Don't for git the check valves. Great job!! Love the bid D we had at work on a standby pump. Back when German stuff was simple practical & reliable!
Props mate! This is very cool. Any diesel engine will be more efficient than the petrol engine it has replaced. Plus the torque! I can't get enough low rpm power
Man that is so awesome...would LOVE to drop a small diesel in my 1997 2.3L Ranger but all the emission controls and junk wouldn't fly... I don't do any heavy pulling, but 40+MPG would be so AWESOME (currently getting about 17mpg out of my Ranger right now) I wonder if a plastic vacuum accumulator would help with the 3 pumps and done problem
@@adampavick7007 I have an F350 (diesel) and it builds vacuum for the brakes right away, Is it a worn vacuum pump? Wait, I don't think the brakes are vacuum.
Those engines are freaking amazing. I run mostly 914. We have have them on rental pumps. Seen those engines go thru some serious damage and still run. Now we have to phase them out because idiot politicians. Sad.
Some Nissan Diesels of the 1980s used alternators which had a vacuum pump built into the back (LD28, SD22,25,33) which you could use to run your brake booster
Deutz 29 HP air cooled out of a 20KW generator. I would like to put it in a Nash Metropolitan I'll get back with ya when I have the time to look at the model # The engine is brand new out of a faulty generator.
I'd recommend using an adapter to bolt the original Nash flywheel on top of the Deutz flywheel. That way, you can compensate for the input shaft length, and use the original clutch.
I believe the pronunciation of IVECO I'VE-COE. Like the contraction of I HAVE (I'VE) plus the surname of country singer David Alan COE. I'VE-COE. At least, that's what the British long-haul truckers told me.
the entire Roget is pretty cool IMO i love the 45 miles to the gallon plus all the sortment of parts it really sounds nice too i know or guess you just took. chance with the Glass Pack you had but honestly it’s got a nice exhaust note to the truck i’ll bet it could pull whatever you wanted it to pull depending on the rear end gearing that i’m thinking you have set up for fuelmileage,not Tourque
have a 4 cyl Perkins marine engine I wasgoing to use but now have started collecting Kubota engines. maybe some time if i get the right truck and engine together but My 83 ranger 4x4 will stay 2.8 powered just for originality
Aqui no Brasil tem camionete com motor eletrônico, que só dá problemas por causa da elétrica . Tem dado muita dor de cabeça pros donos. Já um motor desse não da problema. Eu prefiro um motor assim do que um eletrônico. Motor deutz assim a manutenção é fácil e barato.
The hp ratings are what I think is nuts in the 70s I drove a old D6 cat doze had a pony starter motor the D6 was rated at 90 HP but it pushed like crazy.
Deutz are one of the world's best diesels. Years ago I had a Magirus Deutz truck with the 17 litre air-cooled twin turbo V8. It would out pull most other trucks of the era at 38t. The only possible problem with this installation is air flow. Does it overheat?
I wouldn't worry about it. I have an F4L912W mounted transverse in an EIMCO LHD; we run that machine at 2300 RPM almost 100% of the time and it doesn't even try to overheat. Speed is usually 5 mph or slower. I have another F4L912W in a 5-ton underground truck with the fan facing the tailgate, also no overheating issues. With air being forced directly into the fan in this truck, it'll stay nice and cool.
You probably could reduce drag a lot by using a pipe to draw air from the very front of the grill and same for the air intake, then shutting the rest of the grill.
Depends on rear gear. Stock 88 era 5 spd might hit 80-85 with 4.10s. swap in a set of 3.45s from the 2wd 3spd auto and should get about the same from an engine that redlines around 3500. This setup (looks like 4wd, most likely 4.10s) might hit 55. Don't know if it's stock trans or not, but a turbo and a gear vendors would make it capable of 100+
I tried oil through the heater core as well as an electric heater. Neither worked. Finally got a Chinese knockoff of an Eberspacher diesel-fired heater. Puts out a lot of heat, but the combustion chamber builds up with soot pretty quick. I also use it as an intake heater when it's outside below zero. 65 is top speed with 2500 rpm governor, but it has no problem holding that speed, even up steep hills.
Adam Pavick Try using Howe’s or Stanadyne for saving injection system and burns cleaner. Also, Biobor JF kills algae and keeps filter healthy not black.
