I think you should put this motor in it. Pound for pound, a way better value and more horsepower per pound than any motor I've seen here.

yet it seems the psd is the easiest. the cummins is second, the dt360 hardest. but the cummins is cheapest to modify, then the dt then the psd....lol
The DT is easiest to modify in my mind and the most reliable with lots of HP. Hypermax says the DT is good for about 2000HP that is just insane
so how are the allison autos behind the dt360's? for towing and such in a 1 ton. I would do a divorced ford np205
Those of you that are fimiliar with DT360 applications....do these have any method for helping them start in winter? that would be one concern with this swap. it must function year round and be reliable.
DT360.
Ford 6.6/BRAZILIAN WHATEVAH
or ********.
Best of all worlds.. Dmax/Allison. Easiest newer diesel to get 450 hp... and Allisons are bomob diggity.
Mechanical DT's have a great rep for cold weather starting. There is no provision for glow plugs or an intake heating grid. Some have block heaters that can be used. The HEUI (same as the PSD's) DT466E's are another story, but you don't want one of those. If you leave the compression ratio at 17.5 to 1, and don't get too crazy with the IP timing........ it will start just fine, especially with a block heater.

I think that grafting a grid heater would be a good idea. will the gigantic starters used in the dt application fit in our trucks or is a different one needed for the swap?
