Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
130HP stock but some tweaks to the IP, waste gate, and adding an intercooler brings up higher for cheap coin compaired to modding a 6.2Hea skinny, There is no way a 4BT@130HP is going out perform a banks turbocharged 6.2@195+HP. My 6.2 Banks/700r4 does everything I expect it to do. At highway speeds I'll stay with any stock Ford or Dodge diesel pickup. That 4BT/700r4 conversion is a $1000 for the adapter plate plus $250 for motor mounts and whatever for a torque converter. Whats the advantage? The 6BT is another story. I am so tired of guys complaining about how the 6.2 is a dog or it's a turd. If you dont like it put that 6Bt in it or stuff a 6V92 or a gas 502 or a 572 in it. The na ford 6.9 of the same year wasn't exactly a neck snapping engine either.
Yea, I know exactly how big they are. I've been operating heavy equipment for almost 30yrs, and have run them in equipment and a few boats along the way. I was just kidding of course and was just trying to show how ridiculous it's gotten with guys trying to make these old trucks perform like the modern day diesel pickups on the market. Ain't going to happen. Diesel Depot will build a real nice 6.2 for ya depending on how much you want to spend. Guys put Banks turbos on their trucks witthout an overdrive trans and end up with the fastest 0 to 55 mph CUCV made. They run em pinned on the governor most of the time and call them junk motors when they blow up. Fooling arround with turbos and blowers not designed for the 6.2 is risky at best. The Isuzu 4 and 6cyl engines are designed to accept GM transmissons and would be my choice if I were to swap but i'd be prone to get that HP Diesel Depot motor. BTW, love the Pocono's. We go out I84 to 209 through park and hit the flea market at Marshall's Creek, a little less than 2hrs from my house, then hit the Depot for lunch at East Stroudsburg."or stuff a 6V92 or a gas 502 or a 572 in it."
Wayne, do you have any idea how large a 6v92 is?
