PowerWagon Engine Swap.
 

I'm getting an original PowerWagon without a motor. Wondering if a 12 valve would fit. Does anyone know the height, width, or depth?

iv seen an old power wagon with a p-pumped 12v in it looked sick im just not sure if the had to fab anything crazy it looked pretty roomy in there though:jump:

:tu:

What kind of transmission should I look for?

stick or auto?

Prefferably stick, but it's probably gonna depend on what happens when the time comes. I just found out it has a 4 speed manual in it, not sure if it will work with a diesel engine though.

probably not, what is your goal for power?

My whole intention of building this thing is to have a truck to pull my gooseneck horse trailer.. I would like it to be able to handle about 10,000 lbs comfortably.

hmm so this isn't gonna be like a truck for play its gonna have a purpose. Well either an nv5600 or 4500 would do just fine and direct bolt on ta boot a good clutch is all you will need to if all your looking to do is tow a horse trailer

Thank you so much, you have been a huge help!
