while i beleive this is the dry weight ur right its heavy, but at 2005 pounds and 41" long 39" wide 52" high i think i may be able fit it. but that would require some work.
The other engines i had in mind was a 6v53, 4-71, 6-71, and a 4btc
for me the scent and sound wont bother me, i work on an air force flightline where theres always a scent of jet fuel, and diesel in the air, plus running engines all day
i found a site that had a bunch of detroit diesels for $3000ish up, and they had a nice selection to pick from, other than weight the hp and tq potential is pretty impressive
i saw a feature done on the ****ed off pete build by blatolene and it got me thinking bout trying a diesel swap, anyone ever think of doing one, and if so what diesels?
I'm thinking bout trying a 6v92 and shooting for around 750hp
well i did just think of that idea a lil while ago and came up with idea for a cutout that would exit side of the fender when operated, and out the back when normal.
the fun then comes in trying to hide the exit so it looks almost stock
ok but what f the mufflers were hid under the hood, would the exhaust coming out the be ok, im just rally not wanting it to come out in front of the rear wheel or stock location in the back if possible. i'd like it to come out up front
we set my seat on fire last year with his plazma cutter, worse part is that we were cutting something underneath the car, and it sent sparkes up thru the floor and lit it on fire...
