Yea, but mybe someone knows of something better. I posted a tread about buying a M35 and putting in a Cat 3126B so I would have something with better MPG. Wont be doing that again!! WOW, started something bad! So ill just keep my 5 ton. Guess I could do a Cummins M 11 or Cat 3176B/ C-10 if fuel...
I wasn't dogging anyone. I was just saying id rather do business with a steel solders member if they had a shop and have done any M35 swaps. that way I could save a few bucks as they already know what to do. Sorry if anyone miss read what I posted. I meant no harm.
The Cat 3126B isn't a bad motor! Have to keep oil super clean, or a second oil filter to HEUI pump inlet so crap doesn't clog injectors. Cat 3126B are super cheap! 250-330HP ranges too.
145HP!! No way. Cant find parts for multifuel to rebuild .Now mybe if I could get 250HP out of the LDT that would be ok. I have manual for LDS-465 @180HP. Thought if a intake was fabed up, and bypassed the watercooled manifold, add a air aftercooler the LDT would be in the 230-250HP range...

I thought all 3 axles had some sort of locker installed already? Thought of buying a M 1083A1 instead of a M35A2, but if I cant have lockers in all 3 axles im out?
Pittsburg Power on their site has a book wrote by Bruce. It covers the cummins NTC. 104 pages!! His claims is proof I guess. He states 100 degrees cooler EGT with 25 more horse. Its called ..Have to re check. post latter.
Some tips for those who are adding a turbo to the NHC 250, and some need to know info. When adding a turbo to a NHC 250, you need to do 3 things. 1. Retard the timing. Stock timing is (0.2032) piston and (0.0290) push tube. Set it to (0.2032) and (0.036). This timing is for a stock NTC 290 S.C...
