Hi, we are trying to do the same swap for the same reason, what are the good and bad things while swap is done and after in the long run? ThanksI'm the owner of this excavator. I swapped the 3066 engine (Mitsubishi) because I repaired it six times!! The engine was ok until the first time we repaired it (worked about 12.000 hours) but, after that, I started to lose money, time and patience... Wasting money in one Block (I put a new one U$11.000), two Cramshafts, Injectors, etc, etc.. I have others Cat equipments, and I never have had throubles with the Engines... I guess this case is because this is a japanese engine built by Mitsubishi..
Hey I would like to revive this old thread. Has anyone else done this .My 3066 took a dump the other day and I'm considering this swap .Was anyone able to find a flywheel that bolted right up or did you have to Fab one?Hi, we are trying to do the same swap for the same reason, what are the good and bad things while swap is done and after in the long run?

I think you can keep your old flywheel, just adopt the flex plate to it, check out https://www.hayescouplings.com.
Still gonna need to match bellhousing to pump drive flange.
The cummins I'm getting doesn't have the flywheel. I thought about buying one of these and then figuring out how to adapt to mine.Does the Cummins have a flywheel?
If it does - then think about how to adapt your pump shaft to it.
