Another engine swap idea Cummins r28

[fieldsy05]

G’day guys as title suggests another engine swap idea!
Just curious if anyone has looked into the newly released Cummins r28 crate motor, and if so what are your thoughts?

Is that the same motor that is in that grand tiger thing? I think the biggest problem is going to be matching the bellhousing...

Hey bud not sure about the tiger but there is a similar motor in the Foton tunland but the tunlands have a lot more going on with the emissions controlling side of things,
and apparently the above questioned engine maybe a selectable option in the 2018 Nissan Frontier being released early next year in the U.S.
curiosity got the better of me today and emailed Cummins South Pacific for shits and gigs,
Must admit they got back to me quite quickly and there’s a possibility that the engine will be available as crate engine package.
But yes a lot of it would be the bell housing

Must have been that foton that I was thinking of actually. If you could make it work it would definitely be something different...
