    M923A2 Engine Swap

    I've gotten a lot of feedback on the 400BC, BC400, BC-400, but I don't easily find them on the internet. What would be the specific model for the BC400? I'm seeing NTC400, Form 400, ISM 400, ISX 400 (which I think has too much electronics)... I'm just hoping to get a little better...

    M923A2 Engine Swap

    JD... What would I need to do to get 350HP out of the 6CTA8.3? Will I have any overheating issues? I'd rather stick with what's in it, and modify it from there. I believe the Allison 4500 RDS is the best fit for what I want to do... get 350HP in the truck. All of you have been very...

    M923A2 Engine Swap

    So..... I guess what I'm looking for is the right transmission to marry to a 500 to 600 HP motor. I would love to see it be a relatively simple exchange without too many modifications to the frame to make it work well. If I use the ISX15, is there a transmission/transfer case that would be a...

    M923A2 Engine Swap

    I'm looking into replacing the 6CTA8.3 that my truck came with with a more powerful engine. I found the ISX15 to be an interesting engine and ti comes in a version up to 600 HP. Has anyone done such a swap, and if so what should I expect along the way? Any help with this project would be...
