Re: Diesel Conversion
Well one of my long term projects is a 71 crew cab SWB dually diesel and I plan on going with the 12V and pump it up a bit. This truck will be for towing, showing and just plan cruising but at 20++ MPG it should be a great driver as well. I may go ahead and just find a wrecked LWB extended cab dodge and pull the body and use the complete runing gear for my build. As of right now I have the cab started and a set of new alcoa rims but that is it so I have awhile to look for a doner. What I lioke about the 12V's that I have been around is with the right turbo and exhaust they sould just plane bad Ars and like a heavly built semi all in a clasic truck package.
I am also going with the 12V because my Father in-law is a retired bus machenic and built these in his sleep so that part will be easy. Kevin LFD Inc. |

Re: Diesel Conversion
ive seen duramaxs for 2 gs and why not just use a 4l80e or a nv4500 or if you want six spd nv5600 and it would still be less than a allison
