The civilian version with 7.2 compression ration is 260 ft. lbs at 1400. The military ratio is around 6 to one.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Wow! I was guestimating the 302 put out atleast 320 ft lbs. That is surprising, you would be correct in your assumption of increased performance with the 6.2. That makes me wonder if the 455 that used to be in the truck was a little too much muscle for the rest of the driveline. Over at the Mil-Veh board there is a lot of discussion about GMC engine swaps. A lot of them feel big block V8's create too much power for the GMC, most advise sticking to small block torque specs. Now I definitely feel the 455 would have eventually caused a failure point somewhere, or at least vastly accelerated wear of the Tcase.
Huh? Did I miss something in this thread?Oh my god! Henderson, you HAVE to give me more details on your crew cab M135!!!!! It will be the best thing since sliced bread! You have me giddy as a schoolgirl wanting more info. I'll bet it will be very well done, too! I've only seen 1 M211 crew cab and it was done horrrrrribly...
Not when it takes you a day to drag it around the house in the dirt...It would take me less than a day to swap an engine in this truck and be back on the road.
That is funny!!Not when it takes you a day to drag it around the house in the dirt...
