Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I just joined this forum because of this and Rangmar's threads. I look forward to following in your footsteps and making my own Kubota pickup. I'm going to school in Provo, UT, where can I find one of those engines?

 

Well the best source is a refrigeration semi trailer repair shop, these motors are being removed from working units that are just old enough to be non-compliant for the new EPA reg's in California. Most are low hour motors and are good to go, you just need to do a little searching in your area.

 

look in ogden there is small truck junkyard on the west side of 15 and on down rite below the 15/80 there is a equipment dealer there he has oil pans and such

 

Any updates on the di swap?

 

Completely new DI truck underway. This time I bought a truck that’s super nice. Now that we have figured out how good they run I figure it’s time to build a nice one! So far I’ve torn it down, built the plate for the serpentine belt system, bought a radiator-intercooler-fan set up, turbo, and a few other parts. I’ll make a few mods this time like better engine mounts, better throttle control, and in general just a cleaner more streamlined appearance. I am looking forward to seeing the difference in the DI vs. the IDI engines. I’ll post pictures as I go, here’s a few to start.

 

Awesome. Fte has been telling me about it. I just wanted to see it. The rad intercooler and fan are from a s80 Volvo correct? Great idea. Just a FYI. Sam at Leonard's diesel has a 90degree t stat housing. I just ordered one for mine If I remember you made one for your current truck. Might save some fab work and it was only 20 bucks

 

i just saw one of those Volvo intercooler radiator combos at my local pick and pull today. I was just looking at the intercooler, I did not think to use the whole set up. I did not get a price . Kubota man if you don't mind what did the whole intercooler/rad set you back. The local Volvo must have just arrived it was still pretty intact.
I was sort of hoping to get a little bit larger intercooler than what I saw today
your new truck looks great have fun with it.

 

Yeah throw in some pics here..
We'd all love to see some.

 

Man I'm digging your nice new BIG shop!!

 

Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I just joined this forum and have been reading through this swap gathering info and advice. I'm currently swapping a V2203 DI into a 1967 Inertnational Scout 800.
