Fitting a Deutz-engine into a 72 Suburban?
Hello all,
I'm trying to validate an idea for a story I'm working on. One of the characters in the story only drives classic cars but has them rebuild with a contemporary engine and new parts. I picked a 72 Suburban as his travel SUV. Mainly because it really strikes a good balance between sixties charm and the more modern look of the later Suburbans. I want to fit it with a big (minimum 7l) V8 turbo diesel engine. A low reving torque vomiting thumper kind of thing. I did not really find anything that really checked all the boxes but then came across this: http://www.deutz.be/Data_sheet_TCD_12_16.pdf. 15,9 liter V8 with close to 3000 Nm of torque at 1400 rpm. But would such an engine fit in a 72 Suburban? And is it feasible to use such an engine in a car? I got the idea from this movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAKdmM21UgI. Unfortunetally the link in the description seems dead. What's your thoughts? Is it a feasible idea to use the Deutz engine to power a car? Thanks in advance. Tom |
