Holy crap! Someone is doing it!!! I had talked about this swap 10-15yrs ago. It’s got plenty of torque and makes good power. And it’s lightweight so why not?!
Hi Luis I have been watching your channel since the red Chevy single cab video. Really like your attention to detail. What is your best recommendation for getting a motor? Shop local market for donor car, travel, import one, etc? It’s obvious you don’t buy crappy motors and that they are fairly low mile and in good shape. Just looking for a little advice here. Thank you. Keep making videos !
Hello. Thanks for the note. Shopping around for a donor car has always worked for me, it’s been cheaper and good to get the whole car for extra parts here and there. They’re still out there although scarce by now. Otherwise there are a few on Ebay every here and there. They normally come with 200K miles. i don’t normally worry about mileage too much. If they run well, 100K miles or so don’t make a significant difference, they’re super resilient. Once you find one just check that compressions are ok. Depending on your plans even a non-turbo works, easier to find too. They tend to be in better shape anyway because they never made much power.
Neet thing is you're not starting with a truck that has a ECU, or does it? Thing that always find interesting with those engine swap is how can the stock ECU work with the new engine and trans ECU ? Can the stock ECU " ignore " that there's no engine and keep speedo, lights, horn, wipers and so on?
Great video. I am thinking abourt doing the same this as you did. I have a 1980 Chevrolet C 10, regular cab, fleetside longbed. For a long time I had my mind set on a GM 6.5 turbo diesel. But after I came over your video sure about that GM engine any more. I am thinking of both OM 603 turbo diesel and OM 606 turbo diesel. Both engine are highly tunable. As for transmission I alerady have a diesel 4L80E transmission and thinking of buying some sort of adapter system. How heavy is the OM 606 compared to a GM 6.5 turbo diesel?
@@luiscervantes197 My C 10 is a 1980. Do you have any drawing of the engine mount to the engine cross member of the car? I think I will use a OM 603 turbo diesel. I do not like electrical edc injection pumps.
People that know say that the 6mm pump I’m using can yield 300HP. But it takes some skill to truly get all of that. With the pump and turbo I have, I expect to get around 275HP which will move the truck nicely. And with that exact set up I have seen 30mpg highway before. I think I can get that on this truck or 28 at a minimum and some 22/24 mpg mixed.
Move the gas tank, the tank is right under the driver and easy to crush. Many deaths from these square bodies, owned two myself, but didn't know about the tank location.

I had no idea the 648 oil pan fit the 606, that just saved me time and money.
I just subbed.
Yes, it does fit only that those pans are a bit pricy and getting harder to find. They’re normally a real good solution for conflicts.

Super stoked on this build! Can't wait
Yesssss dude! This is what I've been waiting on!
Please keep us posted!!!! Can’t wait!
I look forward to seeing this thing rolling!
Pretty soon
Nice!
Can a oil pan, and the oil pump from OM648 be used on a OM603?
Awesome 👍
Thanks.

Following you. I'm looking to swap my Land Rover LR3 to a OM613 or OM648.
You got to do the OM648, great motor.
Love it gonna have to swap om606 in a S10 u think I'd work
That would be a great swap, you’re only going to be a bit tight of room but it’ll fit
Hola, bonito video. Qué inyectores usas para la bomba mecánica. Son compatibles oara om606 y para om648?
Gracias
Hola. No uso bomba mecanica, uso electronica con inyectores de 6mm. Los om606 y los om648 son diferentes.

Sorry, just seen your comment. There was no ECU on this truck.
The he221w has a T25 flange, just for info
👍🏻
Do you think this swap would be good in an 87 1 ton? I've considered cummins swapping it but that's been done
Yes, depends on the weight though and gearing. I’ve seen people use it on toys up to 8k lbs with good results. Again, gearing is key.
What did you do to the oil pumps to fit the rear sump pan ?
The sump pan I got came with the pump for it, ideally you want to get sump and pump

What year is your C10? I think the 606 is the right solution.
@@luiscervantes197 My C 10 is a 1980. Do you have any drawing of the engine mount to the engine cross member of the car? I think I will use a OM 603 turbo diesel. I do not like electrical edc injection pumps.
I don’t but I can draw something and send to you if you have an email or phone number. It’s very simple. You can use mechanical on OM606 engine too.
I've been planning on fitting one of these into my 64 Impala.👍Will the sump clear the crossmember?
Great idea. The sump I used from a 2005 CDI will work just fine.
How much power are you expecting? Also, what kind of mileage will you get?

What stand alone ecm/ecu do you used I am looking for one
A really good one, reliable and with tons of tuning options. It’s called DSL1 from iscontrols. If you are interested I have a couple brand new ones.
Nice project! Where do you gat 648 oil pan?
They’re hard to find. I used to have a really good contact and he stopped helping. With patience you’ll find it with pump on ebay.
You can also get it from DieselPumpUK
Move the gas tank, the tank is right under the driver and easy to crush. Many deaths from these square bodies, owned two myself, but didn't know about the tank location.
Thanks, I was already considering moving it to the back even though I wasn’t aware of their danger.
How did you get the electric pump to work.? How did you wire it?
In the video i show a stand alone ECU to control the pump. Easy to make harness. Works great. I have an extra by the way.
Luis do you have 1 extra ecu?
Do you know the model year car were the engine came out of?
1998 and 1999 E300 turbodiesel.
@@luiscervantes197 thanks can you give me some ideas to look out for on the 1995 model year?
Do you have ecu for edc pump ?
Yes I do.
@@luiscervantes197 nice , how to contact you?
You can send me an email or a phone number and I contact you.
By any chance, do you have ecu for om606 ?
I do.
I need one !
I got a couple brand new
How do I gat your # ?
@@luiscervantes197 should probably delete this
Cuanto sale esa conversion
A mi me esta saliendo en $10 mil incluyendo la troca. Pero asi como la estoy haciendo el puro trabajo con partes sin incluir la troca sale como en $7.
