There is a local man (Nashua NH USA) who had put a 3-53 Detroit Diesel (alu)
from a gam-e-goat into an M37. It workd quite well and because it is Alu, it
does not make the truck overly nose heavy.

On the question of tires on a deuce, the rear tandems are in 4wd all the time.
The tire sizes (the ones that actually touch the ground) must be very closely
matched, Nost manuals for deuces explain this and give the max difference.

BTW: could people please state where they live for ease of knowing whether and
when to respond?
