SOR 1/2 Cut Diesel Conversion

What's a 1/2 Cut?
It's Specter Off-Road's packaged diesel conversion solution.

We look at 1/2 Cut vehicles as what you need for a diesel conversion. A ½ cut is the front ½ of a vehicle cut just behind the rear output
shaft of the Transfercase across the floorboard and through the windshield pillars. Why a 1/2 Cut? Read more...

Why a 1/2 Cut?


A diesel conversion is more than just a simple motor swap. It requires drive train conversion or adaptation, plumbing new cooling, heating and fuel systems and wiring new electrical systems. Also to be considered is the voltage rating of the electrical system for the target vehicle, 12 or 24 volt.

A ½ cut minimizes the need to reengineer those systems. It's a factory assembly ready to be transplanted into your chassis. Generally they include the engine with accessories, all the wiring found under the hood, the transmission and transfercase, instrument cluster, inner fender wells and front leaf springs. But because they are from different models, the accessories may vary. The assembly is out of a right hand drive vehicle, you will need to fabricate power steering lines, air conditioning refrigerant lines and splice connections to the main wire loom. They do not include the axle assemblies.

The neat part is they are 12 volt electrical systems so you don't have to change the rest of the vehicle to 24 volt. You will need to check your local vehicle laws concerning engine conversions. If you have any questions whether a half cut will fit your conversion needs, call the Specter Off-Road tech line after 4 pm PST at (818) 882-1786. 1/2 Cuts must be shipped by truck. For freight estimates call the SOR sales staff at (818) 882-1238.
