great job im doing a diesel swap in my 1961 ford f350. i subed,,
cool project and nice work. i have a tech question though.
what did you torque the head bolts on that diesel to? yes i know i may sound silly but im working on a little mitsubishi 2.3l TDiesel and i had to swap the head gasket and idk what to torque the head bolts back to
Were did you get your pistons and sleeves? I have one in need of a rebuild
i would like to get a chevy 2500 and dump a detroit in er
Where are you from? I see a fisher plow and that looks like Maine rust.
Haha no….Cape Cod rust. But your in the area anyway…good eye.

@Metallica1071991 it’s from the sea salt that they use on the roads
Man that truck was a fire waiting to happen who ever did the wiring job to that truck BEFORE YOU GOT IT is fucking dumb
Where did you get the bellhousing?
First things first get rid of that POS 6.2 and get you a 12v Cummins and install. Would be the best combo ever.
whated that have in it before a 350
@bigbubba357m No id pass! Cummins engines are everywhere, and in everything. I wanted to build something unique, and how often do you here a detroit powered pickup truck screaming down the road?! Plus i gotta keep my running-gear mostly GM ;P
@josh216882000 I can understand that.
whast goin on with the truck latly i havnt seen any new vids
whats goin on with the truck project havnt seen any new vids latly
Quite the rat rod project here, especially with a Detroit 4L53 two-stroke in for the V8-6.2. Given the known narrow powerbands of those two-strokes, I wonder whether a Spicer ESO66-7 might have been more tolerable for the engine? Not enough wheelbase to throw in an AMO600-4D behind the Clark, more’s the pity.
@bigbubba357m thats what doing! im takin my 96 dodge 12 valve, takin the motor out, and puttin it into a 94 f-350 c-cab…check it out somtime, its not done yet tho
@cumminsVScompetition that is a badass combo good luck with it.
@bigbubba357m fuck cummins detroit is so much better
@glorgon711 LOL you must be retarded. What rock have you been living under.
if i where to ever swap my stroke out it be for a detriot. i had a chance to get a 6v71T but i farted around and missed out i was going to put in my old 82 f350 reg cab then id so those cummins boys power at the diesel dynos
was the 6.2 detroit diesel a good one, i have the 6.5 detriot diesel and i love it
@fossilknife no it was junk… It would barely start in warm weather, never mind cold and snow. Glow plugs and a new starter later, it still started harder the cold than any diesel i know, so out the door it went. Ill never buy a truck with one again. Glad to hear you have good luck with your 6.5 though man!
I really CAN’T believe the mess the truck was in beforehand, especially that super nasty wiring… Detroit power all the way baby, let ‘er rev!
