[QUOTE="lavacarancher, post: 1227222, member: 9198"] Let me say I know nothing about the Detroit diesels but I think Gateboy is spot on about the swap. Lots of things to change even if the bell housing would bolt up. Next, the 318 is a 6V53, not an eight cylinder. The 8V92 is an animal when it comes to HP so then you have to consider the drive train, clutch, etc. Do a google on Detroit 6V53 and you will come up with several pages of information on the 53 series engines. GM made a bazillion of these engines and I would think you could get a rebuilt pretty cheap. Good luck [/QUOTE]
