Maybe.
I will keep the Flathead V8 only as long as I have confidence in it running reliably. I have always wanted to power this Ford with a Diesel engine. It just happens that Cummins build an ISF 2.8 and an ISF 3.8. Both of these engines are available as crate engines and ready to run as plug and play. I have no doubt that I can recover enough from the Old Flatty, if I should decide, to make a Diesel swap. The Ford has a Diesel compatible fuel return system.
The ISF2.8 weighs about 450 pounds and the ISF3.8 is just a tiny bit more. If these ISF engines were available when I first started this project, this might have been the only Cummins powered Fat Fender Ford.

http://capitalremanexchange.com/cummins ... -gumption/ We had 3-4 inches of snow last night. The snow in the lane has not melted just yet. All of the main roads have been heavily salted or brined. My back lane is steep and remains slippery, so I will not be risking another fall like happened 14 months ago. I slid all of the way to the hospital.
My son cleaned the sidewalks, front and back, when he got home from work at 05:34 this morning.
