    what will it cost to make this shorty bobbed deuce/ any imput?

    That still seems like a pile of cash. There are always several listed on ebay; do any really sell for that much?

    fuel filter conversion unit

    My dodge cummins only has one filter. I would consider the multi to have a deluxe and proper fuel filter system.

    24v generator

    You may be able to get away with it but it is best to avoid parallel battery strings. Consider a string of 2V cells instead. Get a chart outlining the depth of discharge vs number of charge/ discharged cycles for your batteries. It will show that you will dramatically shorten the life of...

    M35A2 power steering possibly??

    The other concern is that, once designed in, can you get parts to repair it?

    Intake/exhaust port CFM flow? Porting the heads? Tech babble.

    While looking for something else, I found some additional information in "Diesel and High Compression Gas Engines" by Kates and Luck 3rd Ed: "...Therefore, the improved efficiency obtained with higher compression is not due to the compression itself, but due to the fact that higher compression...

    Another source for the new multifuel head gaskets

    I bought a set from TnJ before the price went up; it is advertised as the "new version" but it isn't the same as the clevite 5818 version I purchased from other vendors (including m35 tom). The TnJ gaskets have a slick, graphite gasket surface while the mahle clevite is more fibrous. Reminds...

    Increasing PT pressure

    Will you be piping fuel into the cab or using an isolator?

    Intake/exhaust port CFM flow? Porting the heads? Tech babble.

    I interpreted this as increased compression ratio does not improve efficiency: From Haddad "In practice, the higher the compression ratio, the higher will be the engine friction, leakage, and torque for starting. Thus, diesel engine designers use the lowest compression ratio consistent with...

    Those liberties were not "taken"; they were signed away when the property was purchased.

    Another source for the new multifuel head gaskets

    Based on what I've read, "Gaskets to go" would be the first place I'd check. They will also make one-off MLS but I suspect that the block surface may be too rough.

    Front axle brake shoes wear out faster than rear axle brake shoes?

    The braking ability is limited to tire traction. Because of weight transfer, there is more force pushing the front wheels into the pavement. This enables you to use more pressure/ force on the front brakes (compared to rear) and stop faster. A brake system with IDENTICAL brakes all around...
