Diesel Newbie
Hey
I am restoring a 1956 Studebaker 3/4 2WD pickup. Looking at replacing the V8 with a diesel but I'd like to keep the New Process 540 5 speed transmission. The short block Stude weighs about 780 lbs, so I don't think I can add much weight up front. So, does anyone know a good diesel candidate that will mate fairly easy to this transmission?
Thanks!
