Re: Fitting a Deutz-engine into a 72 Suburban?

That is a very large engine, more fitting for a semi truck than a 'Burb. I don't think it would physically fit (46 inches tall isn't going to be possible).

For a modern drivetrain, a 6.7 Cummins, 6.6 Duramax, 6.7 Powerstroke would be more believable. Or, if you want to keep a euro flair (I see you're from Belgium) the Duetz 6.1 looks like it would theoretically fit.
