valvebody is bad, tranny would only stay in 2nd gear.

Wasn't hard to see what house you were going to pull into.

Is that a summit racing radiator in there? I know there was a PN for one that was a pretty good fit. I had one cooling my 427TD BBC with a 35 or 40,000GVW size oil cooler as well. FYI, I also found out, surprisingly that the M715 engine compartments don't breathe very well so air flow through the radiator can become an issue with a full engine compartment. I put a rear facing vent on the hood that worked great!!! Was worth 10-15* engine temp for me. Granted the BBC is a lot more engine bay filling than the inline Cummins, but just something to keep in mind. Oh, I also ran a high pitch mechanical fan so there would be less electrical stuff.

the only drawback to a 4bt or 6bt is there very noisey. even with dynomat on floors and firewall. looks like you did a fine job pal.

It is a Summit Radiator. But not a bolt in deal. I had to widen the radiator opening and weld on some brackets. My radiator is part #SUM-380328 Summit Racing SUM-380328 - Summit Racing Street & Strip® Aluminum Race Radiators - Overview - SummitRacing.com

I used a remote tranny cooler with its own fan mounted where the spare tire goes and have -8 braided line feeding it.

Yep, that's the same radiator and same widening of the mount that I did. I'm guessing by the color that was an industrial Cummins or did you just 'industrialize' it via rattlecan?

I am use to the sound of a diesel. I have 4 Cummins 6BT's, 2 Cummins 4BT's, 1 Isuzu 4BD1T, and an LD-465 Multifuel. My Challengers and Cutlass are louder than my diesels.

 

[defbob]

I painted it the color is was meant to be. The motor is out of an '89 Dodge W250

Looking good, sounding good. Too bad about the valve body, what transmission are you using?

Nice cubic inches on the toy list in your signature, btw!

I don't mess around when it comes to horsepower

Nice work on the swap! Nothing better than the first test drive.

I'm running the stock AMG TH400 (3L80) behind my 6BT, but have a guy in town that's going to build me a beastly 47RH. I'm going to stick an Atlas box behind it.

Looks like you're a fan of World Products blocks! Very, very nice!
