Thinking about swapping out the 2.0 with...

[Suzukiridr14]

If I swap in one of these V-16 CAT diesels would I need to add a hood scoop to gain motor clearance?

Polished 150 gallon aluminum fuel tanks and 8" chrome stacks would add some coolness to the Maverick.

I can get a deal since I can pick them up at the factory...

Go for it!

This idea is less like an upgrade to the Maverick and more like a snuff film. I’m not sure I could imagine or watch such a thing happen. Totally got me with your title.

Will this void the warranty?

I don't think CAT would care...

Thanks for the encouragement... since aftermarket motor mounts aren't available for this swap (yet!) I will have to break out the welder, plasma torch and borrow a serious press brake to make the mounts.

I used to own a 1928 Buffalo 50 ton mechanical ironworker but I sold it years ago. It still had the Ford Motor Company tag on it and was an intergral part of building Model A cars at the Pirquette Ave factory in Detroit!

Wish I still owned it!!!

I know the owner of a local fab shop that can help me out.

Stay tuned for a progress report...

Give me the specs and I will 3D print the motor mounts
Will probably have to use PETG

Just like an 1100 cubic inch mustang (Sherman tank engine!)
