Thread: Conversion Cummins ISF 3.8 (or 2.8)

From my googling, the two best non electronic diesel engines in the world, OM606 and 1HDFT.

Comparing them, the OM is significantly lighter, with more power potential more easily, and cheaper.

The 1HDFT is more torquey, parts in australia more readily available. There is a really good fb site for these engines....

2600rpm sucks. I wouldnt be surprised if a cummins tech computer hooked up could raise that.

But yeah it has soo much low end power it would be a sin to rev it much on the hwy.
