w4 diesel

[gmcdeadhead]

i seen on a you-tube video a w4 with a diesel from a international 414, can you easily bolt up the diesel motor in the w4 frame or is there a lot of modifications that has to be done?

It might be easier to hang the W4 tin on a B414. lol

there is a guy from around here that put a diesel from a 340 into a w-4. looks good . calls it his WD4.

 

[gmcdeadhead]

when you put those other motors in , do they bolt right up or do they need modifications

 

[rustred]

i believe he said it was not that bad and did not take too much modifications.

Heres a pic of a W4 engine and a few of a 434 which is the same as a B414
It would take a fair amount of blacksmithing! not even close to the same engine family.The c152 has a machined rear engine surface with a cast plate. The front mounting is a casting that fits over the front timing cover behind front pulley
B414 has a wide area in bellhousing area and also at the front . the engine is also much shorter
I have a b414 split parting out and when I have time I will take the flywheel off and compare with pictures to a c152
