What about Fords or International's IDI engines. I know they are not up to the Cummins power reputation, but they are supposed to be just as reliable. With good mpg too if tuned right.

I found a nice 82 with a 6.9, 5 speed, and in a RCLB. My thoughts were to drop it, and convert it to rcsb. But my knowledge of Diesel is none, and I didn't want to climb up hill on my DD.
