How strong is the Rockwell T-221
 

Just like the title says. The reason I ask is I am planning a swap and need to know if it will handle a 300-400hp 750-900ftlbs Cummins.

I don't know about behind a Cummins but my father used his 65 K10 to haul 2.5 tons of water in the mountains of CO every other week or so. Rain, snow or shine....

However if you already have everything yanked out, it might be a good time to get something a little newer and easier to get parts for.

There is a good chance that wherever that Cummins is coming from there is a 205 close by. Why not fab in a 205 now while you are in the mood? And what I mean by in the mood is while you are in fab mode. The T 221 would probably take it for a bit. But when you need parts for it, and you will need parts because your case is probably " experienced " they will be harder to find than parts for a 205. Besides, how many destroyed 205's have you seen? I have seen two, both examples where extemely abused in all ways possible.

I've seen the 221 grenade under considerably less.

R U planing on doing 4 wheel drive burn out on pavement ?

Re: How strong is the Rockwell T-221
 

No plans for 4wd burnouts. My plans for the truck would just be for driving and the occasional sled pull. But I am addicted to power so it won't be stock.

LANDC, The motor and NV I have were from a 2wd so I don't have a spare 205 and If i wer to use a 205 I'd like to use a divorced unit, However I do know where there is a 201 from an 63 PowerWagon.

The sled might be its down fall with that much torque.
