Hey Larry,
I just realized after reading this thread that I’m 1 year older than your ‘49 Jeep.
Great job on your Kubota swap. Hoping to do either a VW TDI or a Kubota swap in 2023.
Thanks 
Ron

Hows the setup holding out Larry?  I'm still driving mine around almost every day.  I just picked up a beat up old early CJ5, and even though the F134 is running real good, in the back of my mind I keep thinking I should put a Kubota in there LOL

Hi Daniel,

Still loving the swap. Drove it yesterday. Best thing I could have done to my Jeep was to put in the diesel engine. SmileSmileSmile

Been admiring this build for some time.  Last fall I got a 46 CJ2A and have decided the L134 is just too tired and want to do this swap.  I've got leads on several Kubota engines and would like your opinion.  I've found a V2003 that seems pretty good but wondering if I should hold out for a V2203?


I've been trying to contact Greg at Overland Diesel and they're not answering emails on their website and don't show a phone number anymore.  Does anyone know their status?
