Engine swap

Engine is an 83 om617swaps Mercedes turbo diesel. It’s no power house but once I’m done with the mods it should get close to 350-400 ft lb if torq. I’m good with that. Doomsdaydiesel adapters and misc parts to make the swap go easier. Highly reccomended.
Added a John deer(bolt on) alternator for 150 amps vs 50 amps stock. Basically used all doomsdaydiesel parts and instructions. An easy swap.

Exhaust

I used 3” exhaust tubing and a random diesel muffler. I will probably delete the muffler soon due to clearance issues.

Yeah the gearing sucks on road. My max speed is 55. Offroad it’s pretty sweet. I may try and change the gearing later but that’s super expensive since they are not common gears.

What did you use for a muffler? I kept all of my exhaust from the donor car to use, but it looks like you found some replacement stuff.

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/flo-13012100 this is the link. Yeah I didn't keep much from the car. Honestly I think I'm going to ditch the muffler. its pretty quiet. The engine is way louder than the exhaust. Not that I want a loud exhaust, I just don't think its needed and I can save 2" of clearance if I take it out.
