The Cummins rads are huge in comparison to the Deuce variety.
I can't remember specifics, but someone I was talking to somewhere put the
LDS Multifueler (out of an M54A2 5-ton) into his M35A2. I think he said
that while it had noticeably more power under many conditions, it liked to
run really hot with the M35 rad. I'm pretty sure he put a bigger radiator
in it, but also wound up doing something to the front sheet metal (lifting
it maybe?) to accomodate the bigger rad. I wasn't staring at the truck, so
I don't know how he dealt with the longer vs. shorter engine compartment
size or any of the other potential nightmares.
As to the other fellow, 5-Ton and Deuce transmissions are different..
