You ever see Blade Runner? The quote about running things hard applies there: In order to run the engine reliably at those revs under load, you'd have to do a lot of work: balance the engine components better, increase bearing sizes and strengths, use different heat treatments on shafts to...

Just a question - what is your motivation for juicing the HP, and what is your end-game? I'd actually stick with the 8.3 unless you have a terrific reason to not do so. The 8.3 is rebuildable using an in-frame kit (new liners gaskets, pistons, rods, etc...) for about $1,100, and parts are...

Sure thing. That looks like a good match, just from a quick spec check. [EDIT:]I'm going to admit a memory lapse - I forgot about the 5000/6000 series Allison transmissions. IF you can find one (very hard to find, and REALLY expensive), these are available up to 4000ft-lbs of input torque...

I once heard a great quip "HP is just a number, torque is what you feel". For medium/heavy diesels this becomes a point of importance. You will rarely see a transmission rated by the HP prime mover it is attached to, rather they rate it by the torque of the engine. The current 600HP ISX comes...

Seems I'm always short on both... why is it that the people with no idea what to do with themselves have the most of both? Sorry for the tangent.
