Yes I am. The 3B diesel puts out 91 hp @ 3500 and 159 ft-lb @ 2200. With an AXT turbo it will put out about 120 hp and 220 ft-lb.
It would be a great motor for a Power Wagon as long as gearing is left at 5.83. It might be easiest to put in the whole 5spd drivetrain, the later '82 and later split transfer case is plenty strong and has outputs offset to the passenger side. the 5spd ratios are 4.84, 2.62, 1.52, 1.00, 0.845. That times 5.83 = 4.93. With 11.00R16s that would be 2650 rpm in 5th at 60 mph, 3140 in 4th.
It'll need a soft 3 point motor mount system, one on each side of the block and the transmission on a crossmember.
