Diesel Engine

[viking]

Are there any members or guests currently running a DIESEL ENGINE in their Bombardier?

Old Trucker, There was a posted picture of Saskatchewan Bombardier with a diesel. Would you know where?

    Viking, I think that is her in "Trail Talk" under "09 rally video" posted by Swamp Dawg. Here is the link to it.

    I think it's the one with the exhaust sticking through the hood. You will see the first glimpse of her @ the 2:05 min. mark and again @ 2:16 min mark. I think you will also find a pic of her in one of the rally posts. I thought someone said she is a diesel. I hope this is right.

                                                                                              OT.

Thanks OT, I did see some photos posted "somewhere" that suggested a 6.2 diesel. It was a summer shot in a yard with 2 or 3 'completes". One of the members though has responded with a location. I'll start there and see where it goes. Cheers, Viking

Hi Guys
Here in Québec we have a few snows with diesel power plan
there's a r-12 with a mercedes engine. But the most incredible it's Marc Racine BT ; that machine is equipe with a rabbit 4 cylinders turbo-diesel wiht a 5 speeds tranny.That snow is very light and again he's equipe with 3 wheels slidders to help him to fly on the top of the snow

Rattleman, Thanks for the update from your end on the diesel engine choices. I wonder, is Marc a member of N.T., would like to talk to him if I could. This still seems to be the most reasonably commercial application regarding fuel economy and reliability on long trips.

Hey Rattleman, Right on about all the future info and pictures. I can help in posting anything you need. I also have the phone # of a Bombardier owner (Thanks Shorty) with the 6.2 G.M Diesel, can't get a hold of him just yet to get the scoop on how it works for him. . I have a Narrow Steel Body (Ford 300) that I want  to diesel up, would consider one of my wides with the right power to weight ratio. Thanks and we'll keep in touch, and Happy New Year!

A friend told me that a diesel engine from an old volkswagen caravelle (with the engine back) will fit perfectly in a wodden bomb. Mounts right up with the transmission. He don`t have a bomb, but a `40 dodge with the same chrysler motor as the bomb. But I don`t know if there are enough power in that engine...

     Viking I was talking to him a couple of days ago. He put the 5.9 Cummings & automatic trans in it. A friend of mine here is interested in it. He wants to sell this one as he has another one to rebuild.

                                                                        Ot.

Hey O.T., Thanks for that update, I'll try to talk to him myself asap.
