Got into a heated discussion with a friend of mine on the phone last night about repowering a M880 Dodge he owns. He's of the mindset that he wants to replace the 318ci engine with another Dodge power plant, a big block in the 383 or 440 family. He even mentioned a hemi (lotsobux). I'm of the mindset that he should dump the gasser idea and go with a Cummins 4BT or 6BT (will a 6BT fit in there?), or a similar diesel plant, with the focus being low end torque, not horsepower. He is of the old-school "more power, AR AR AR".
He would be using this truck primarily for offroading, mostly trails and rocks. Some towing, but nothing that heavy. What would you guys recommend for a power plant for his M880, replacing the tired 318?
