I have a 1973 Revcon 26' motorhome with the olds 455 Tornado front drive. I just found online an adapter that mates a Cummins 6bt/4bt to a GM/BOP automatic bellhousing, so it looks like there may be hope for a diesel in your motorhome!
I would think a Cummins 4BT or 6BT would match up just fine in place of the old slant 6.
But with the Olds Toronado engine and transaxle I think you are pretty much SOL. I think the only other engine that might mate up would be the Caddy 500 CI. On the offchance, you might look at the 6.2/6.5L GM diesel for size. It would be the only other engine I can think of that might match up to the Toronado FWD transaxle.
I have a 1966 cortez i was wanting to sell and was wondering if you wanted it or new someway other than ebay to sell it. I dont know what to ask for it but i bought it for 1500. It needs body work and a new gas tank. It has a Dodge slant or straight six that runs good with a 4 speed man.And it has frontwheel drive and i also have the schematics for it. thanks
Was wondering what your research bore out on this subject. I just purchased a 74 Cortez with a olds tornado engine in it and have been wondering if it could be changed over to a diesel engine to run off either bio diesel or svo. Another option that I had been wondering about was possibilities of propane and the conversion of using the propane to fuel the motor home if it was not conducive and cost efficient to convert the motor home to a diesel.

I own a 65 cortez, i like the idea of a cummins diesel bolting up to the four speed, is this just theory or can this really work. is the engine you refered to the same as in the dodge pickup. thanks Jeff
We had an early 6 cylinder Clark Cortez motorhome and replaced the engine with a Chrysler 440 engine. We of course kept the original 4 speed front trans axle drive. We had problems with the transmission and a few other things it seemed like on every trip but boy did we get the looks when pulling a boat and flying up the hills. I remember my dad welding a special bracket on the transmission housing to align the engine and trans axle properly.
