The One Blue Thing
I saw that big Chevy pickup with the cummins swap and a 10 speed and thought it was sweet. I'd like a DT with a 13spd double OD.
The cheapest ones I've seen are in the mid West. I was just leaning towards a Ford Swaps forum in general, not specific to the "Man's engine".Plenty of cheap engines, wet liners, and the thought that not a lot of these swaps have been done yet make it a win/win. 500hp and 1250lb/ft of torque, 10-13spds running tall gears is a beautiful thing. And without even going into the motor. Totally cost effective. This DT Forum must be done.

They do respond well. They have some issue that I'm not totally sure of. If I saw one blown up, I could tell better. I heard on another forum that they dont like a lot of timing, and something about oiling maybe. My first fueling experience with an MW pump was with the 7.8 in the videos. I learned in the Army in the 90s to stay away from the GM 6.2/6.5.
I need to go to the local injection shop, I got some ideas. 13mm plungers, 3k gsk, and a few other tricks......then I gotta find turbos to match. You think a 450hp DT466 package would sell well? Pump, turbo, and hardware. Maybe I should make 466 to F350 motor mounts, or a whole kit including the firewall sheetmetal template. Or just offer the service to do it.
