300 hp 6.5TD Power Project

We went to pick up an engine in Ellsworth, Kansas yesterday. It's a 1993 6.5L NA with a 599 block (the strongest made) and all the accessories.

We're going to build a streetable 500-550 lb-ft on #2 only. That will come from a new turbo (Garrett 60-1 .68 a/r), a CTD intercooler, lower compression 18:1 pistons, different cam, different programming, and about 85 cu mm of fuel.

Here's a few pics:

So this is what is keeping you from work huh? I have fan testing work yet I am having to pick up your slack. Damn you, :flipoff2:

edit: okay nevermind yer dam pics are too big
did you put it in with a forklift!?

Yeah, they are huge. That's why I linked them. :flipoff2:

I'm about to go out there and start taking it apart [read: stealing parts off it for my truck]. :D

lazy biatch :flipoff2:

Y'all really need to add a truck to the family....

We might. There's a '01 dual cab dually Dmax that we're looking at, but it's a bit pricey. The engine is on a base with wheels, so we used a cherry picker to get it half-way into the truck, and rolled it in on a piece of plywood from there.

who's truck is this going in?

*YAWN*

"that's a big bi*tch"

This goin in your burban?

It's going in the green 96 suburban.

oh, so thats what the rings are for in the floor of suburbans... transporting engines.

that has to be the first time anyone has used a chain boomer on the INSIDE of a suburban.
I got an idea...how about a trailer if the truck is too pricey.

Why so low power? If you're gonna build it it should have at least 700 ft lbs, anything less is jusk ****ing around.

Excuse me, I don't speak Pollock. :flipoff2:

It'll tow just as well as a stock 04 Dmax/Powersmoke/Cummins. It won't have quite the same torque, but she'll work just fine. It's all in the turbo.

why are there so many cylinders? :D

true definition of a Diesel FAG. :rainbow: is this the company you keep David? :flipoff2:

Hey, he's not the only one to ever put an engine in the back of a burb. When I drove from Corpus to Austin to get my burb, I was called back at the last minute by a guy I had been trying to get ahold of about a 454 for sale up there. Well, I ended up putting a 454/Th400 combo in the back of my new to me 3/4 ton 4x4 Burb and driving it through downtown Austin and San Antonio. Too bad the earlier model subs didnt have the tie-downs, woulda made this trip alot safer :laughing: . BTW the only reason its sagy ass in the picture is because it has about 850 pounds of american steel in the back. Here's the pics

Something tells me you ended up with a little more grease on the headliner than david :flipoff2:

i've had a fullsize ford 9" in the back of a disco. beat that

and a 35" mud terrain or two in the back of a maxima! :gigem:

Doug K called last night - just got his "600" off the Dyno after adding the TST box...
480 hp / 1120 torque with just a TST box, intake, and exhaust... AT THE REAR WHEELS!

and it leaked gear oil everywhere at that right?

Actually I just scratched up the A/C shroud with the top of the engine hoist, no grease anywhere. :flipoff2: WTF is a disco anyway?

Sounds like another reason NOT to own a Dodge. Not part of that phone list. :flipoff2:
