Got a line on a 6b today, not exactly what im ater, its a VE pumed engine, but it looks like the price is going to be right! Just need to figue out a trans to go behnd it...

Dont worry, the 303m would be going in the box of my parts truck along with the 302 if i were to ever swap engines! Not only because it would be pretty much useless to any other engine swap (its not like it actually bolts up to anything), but because of the fact that its pretty **** primative LOL

Its a 1954 M135 ;)

I do have my mind set, i know what the engine is, its a turd pile. Thats just what it is, as will ever be I just wanted some FIRST HAND information from someone else that may have done the swap, maybe its worth an extra couple mpg, maybe not. I dont expect 30mpg out of it, but it can sure as...

If you know anyone willing to trade a boatload of 7.3s for a decent shape 6bt, let me know, i would entertain that idea LOL The 7.3s are turds as far as power is concerned. We are looking at roughly 250hp SAFELY with a turbo. Again, safely is the key, i dont want some pile of chit thats...

I dont plan to use this as a pavement princess, its going to be used for what it was built for, drive the heck out of it in the bush! For that reason alone, Any modifications (to the engine or otherwise) are going to keep it as reliable as possible. That means a carbed gasser (say goodbye to...

The 7.3 is out of my F350 i cut up for a bush buggy, nobody in their right mind would pay and kind of decent dollar for the engine, let alone enough to help purchase something more worthy! LOL Again, im only considering the 7.3 because i have it sitting here without a home. Its next intended...

I would love to do a 4btaa3.9 or 4.5 swap (im a cummins guy), but you dont come across a good runner every day for a decent price! I would take the 6b out of my dodge, but ~450hp and triple digit torque would destroy the poor deuce :( Im working on a 6b from a buddy, an old VE pumped engine...

Its got a 302 GMC... Its a reman'd engine, but i havent bothered to look at the details (other than the part of the tag that says its been reman'd LOL) It likely doesnt have alot of miles on it, this truck has sat more than anything, its biggest issue is that its underpowered to begin with...

lets talk reality. It was rated @ 185hp (highest rating for those years) 20 years and 500k km ago...

once again, its not a flower power, its a completely different engine (no matter how closely the powerstroke 7.3 is related to the IDI international 7.3). Not that the IDI internationals werent reliable (they were pretty good). they were just gutless, had very little power potential and the...

A flowerpoke 7.3 is a totally different story (DI w/turbo, it actually makes some power and has some potential!) An IDI 7.3 international, is pretty much just a turd and you cant do much about it. DI engines are extremely high compression, along with the fact that they are built fairly light...

LOL, im sorry but the IDI 7.3s are turds! (in comparison to any other DI diesel in the same displacement range) The actual swap (making mounts and fabrication), is no problem, i have done quite a bit of fabbing and have all my own gear to do the job. Tcase is not going to be an issue at all...

As much as i have sworn i will never do anything with this POS engine, it has got me thinking... Ive got an old F350 im cutting up for a bush buggy, the 7.3L IDI international and ZF5 are coming out of it to be replaced by a BBF and auto. The engine is a turd (like all IDI diesels) but on the...
