A quick question would it be possible. To put a diesel in my 61 I think it would be awesome to do found the motor very cheap. But was wondering how hard and how much cutting would have to be done ?

Its a lot of work. I personally would not recommend you attempt it.

Ya lol. I wasn't gonna I was gonna ship to my dad. To do it for me but my dad said I would prolly have to upgrade the front end. He said the I beam might not support the weight. But wanted to see what the pros here thought.. Lol

Terry( pwrwgndrvr) has one in a '66 ....believe he bought it that way, but could probably give you some input.

Is the diesel a Cummins or something else?

The front axle should be fine but the frame might not. Some boxing/plating of the frame might be required.

"Some boxing/plating of the frame might be required"
Ask Terry about that Jim

I think Terry charges a consulting fee.( if you don't punctuate and use proper grammer)
